I've had my week off, so now it's back to the grindstone. I'm going to dive into edits on Lana tonight. My plan is to get through 4 - 5 chapters per week. I know some weeks will be easier than others because some chapters are better realized than others. But if I can average that, and get the chapters off to my CPs, I'll be well on my way to getting this book finished.
While I was off I read through a pile of stuff in my miscellaneous ideas file and found a couple of really interesting things. So while I revise Lana, I'm going to think about what I really want to write next. There's an NA idea in there I like, but there's also the new shiny idea I thought would be my next project. Not to mention another music story I found a few notes on in the file. So I'll have to do some heart-listening to see which one of the stories calls my name loudest.
My work week got off to a rough start today, so I know I'm going to have to push to make it to my target. But I figure if I get through 4 chapters this week, it'll make next week that much easier. Do you find a routine and a deadline helps you get where you need to be?
Oh, boo. The ends of weeks off are so no fun, especially when work starts off rough.
ReplyDeleteDeadlines always help me. I try to be as ambitious as possible and then use the fear of not meeting it to drive me to get it done. It seems to work!
