This week is terrible. I’ve new commitments that are eating a substantial amount of my time and forced down time where I can’t do anything. I’m trying to fill the down time with reading, playing 2048 and making novel playlists, but that still doesn’t leave me enough time at the end of the day for writing and I am getting kind of stressed on one of the commitments.
Despite this, I’v reached the epilogue of CatLQ. it’s slow going, but this draft should be done by July at the latest. By hook or by crook it’s going to have to be, because I’m doing Camp NaNoWriMo in July and I am not working on CatLQ for that, because I am starting SaF again, yesssss.
I think I’ll start edits on Over the Mountains when I’m done with the first draft of SaF, since it’ll be 6+months since I finished it in early February. That time, plus the new first drafts, should give me enough distance and experience to vastly improve it. Also, I have all those notes of things to change and improve already. I’m hoping to get the wordcount to 90k or so, since the current 70k feel kind of short. Of course, it’ll be a challenge to keep the story going strong over those extra words. Anyway, I’ll worry about all this later. I’m looking forward to spending time with those folks again!
