I seem to be doing a lot of procrastinating this afternoon which makes me sad. (eek, make that evening!)
Let's get this on the track...
Objective: Publish Novel by end of May 2016
Steps remaining to meet objective:
- Complete the edit
- Hope for a Beta read but set a firm deadline for responses (since I might not get any and the story's not worth waiting another 3 years, holding my entire writing career up. I've already given it 20 years. That's enough of that!).
- Get a cover (this may be a problem but I'm hopeful.)
- Revise to feedback (if I get any)
- Another read-through for flow and punctuation errors
- Publish
- Update site/update mailing list
- Do a happy dance for at least 1 minute
Goal 1: Edit High-level plot revision, Line edit revision.
- Scenes left in plot revision: ~64
- Line edits: Possibly 128... too lazy to even attempt the count
I need to get the edits done by the end of April. Which means the story needs to actually be solid by mid-April. Not going to happen.
...I just cringe...
But here we are.
Goal- high-level revisions- 10 scenes/day.
Done in two weeks. due: 4/4
Goal- line edits: due 4/28 (these should go much faster.. maybe 20 scenes/day)
Nothing like setting impossible goals so I give up. Again.
