Checking in to let you know that I am still, slowly, painfully, working my way through What was Stolen. I made the realization that Chapter 8 is almost 8,000 words (I consider it and Chapter Nine the Midpoint of the book, A LOT happens) Anyway, it took me almost a week to work through it and run it through my ProWritingAid software but it is DONE. Chapter Nine is shorter so I was able to finally bust that out today (I've actually been reading books that aren't mine the past few days and still sticking to my no burn out weekend thing I mentioned a post or two ago.) but I'm hoping to finally finish chapter 10 tomorrow so when my critique partner is back from vacation I'll be ready to swap more chapters. And to think I thought it was going to be done in a week. LOL. That being said, I still have a lot of work to do. Mainly...that very explicit sex scene that needs to be made YA friendly. I can't remember if that's in 11-15 or 15-20 but I will need to probably start that chapter from scratch or combine it with the one that comes after. I'm not looking forward to that at all... ...but I'm forcing myself to try to get it done by April 1st because not only will it be the start of quarter 2, but it's also Camp NaNoWriMo and I really want to work on book 2 so I can get my rapid release thing going by Q4 at the latest. I've got over 2 weeks and 12 chapters left (Only 10 of them are still in a notebook) so maybe? Honestly, probably being overly ambitious but maybe a deadline will help me? So I may be taking back the "no work on weekends thing" just until I can get this newest draft done and I can bust out What Was Fabricated, but my Irish dance competitive season kicks off next weekend too so... here goes nothing? Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who Celebrate and a Merry WTF is my life to everyone else,
Kay
