A quick follow-up to the last vlog, I was assigned the very first week after the original. I was a little bit intimidated because I had no idea what to do or talk about, so I decided to tell people a little about myself. It's not very interesting, but it is enough that I can avoid punishment from the rest of Inksanity. That is, unless I don't meet the goal I set for myself. (What was I thinking? October 1st seemed a lot more attainable when it was a month away...)
Needless to say, if you are reading this, you know that I either have a few hours to complete my goal or you are waiting to find out if I actually did. Because all of the other things I could be accomplishing right now are not so inviting, I will go into more detail about my goal.
In the vlog, I said I would have a beta reader-ready copy of Finding Beauty ready by October 1st. My first draft was only 54 pages long, so my initial thoughts were, "Sure, why not? All I need to do is revise about 10 pages a week. That's nothing!" Of course, nothing ever goes as planned, so here I am, with less than 4 hours to go and still a little under 10 pages to read. Ugh. Why am I so optimistic?
Fortunately, the ending is a little more developed than the beginning was, so maybe I can manage to finish this on time. Of course, it's not like it's the end of the world, but really I would prefer not to face whatever gruesome punishment my friends have in store for me (I heard it involves elevators, which are recurring nightmares of mine).
IF all goes as planned, all of my lovely beta readers can expect to receive a draft of my novel by Sunday, October 6th. (You know who you are.)
If all does NOT go as planned, then my readers and viewers can expect a follow-up to this post, containing all the details and footage of my punishment. For my own sake, I hope this waits for a later time.
The race is on. In exactly 3 hours and 52 minutes, I will bid farewell to September. For better or for worse, October is coming. Tick tock!
