GOOD AFTERNOON, LIKERS!!!

#Rugby in the background and slowly catching up on things (like my delayed this week #DebutNovelFriday piece), but I couldn't help, but wonder...what are you #reading this weekend?

Some deaths, recovery, and new character here. And you?

GOOD AFTERNOON, LIKERS!!! It's been two days in a row. Pretty good weather (though that wind is chilly) so I took the liberty of my time to sit in it. Much needed grounding of energy.

It was a busy week last week so I didn't really get much done. Same for the one before. Now that I was in my #birthday week...well...I had some time. But it would appear that my downtime is surrounded by changes in schedule. Honestly...obnoxious.

Not because it won't come in handy long-term. It was because ONE...rest has been needed. And TWO...#writing time has also been needed. But let's talk about it.

AKA It's time for EDITING, TYPING, AND WRITING.

EDITING. Shockingly...or not...I have nothing going on editing-wise. I had finished my last major editing writing project. And my focus had been on typing up chapters and writing.

In fact, I've been so busy. It wasn't until earlier today in the park, I realized that I have nothing major that I was editing.

I guess I will have to change that.

TYPING. Like I said above...I had been typing.

From new posts for my #DebutNovelFriday feature over on #Tumblr to just typing up chapters for my forthcoming novel.

And that was what I've been doing around my schedule. I would have liked to have done more. But I was #grateful for what I had been able to do. To maintain.

A lifeline.

This week...it would be more of the same.

WRITING. I had been shocked. Really shocked.

I knew I would get busy. And I had gotten busy. But I didn't realize that I've been so busy that I had not written in the past week. In fact, the last time I had written was #finishing a chapter in my WiP. And it was the chapter I ended on a cliffhanger!!! 'Wait, what?' was my realization mind.

How had I not made it back around to work on? Le sigh.

But that was okay. I had time. Well, today anyway. It would seem there was a change in work plans. Again. lol.

And that was how the week was looking.

GOOD AFTERNOON, LIKERS!!! How is #tuesday treating you?

You remember last week I said the weekend was going to be a heavy work/editing weekend. Well...it was that. I had no idea how rough work would be until yesterday when I could barely move out of bed. Thankfully an off day cuz...WOW.

Still...I not only got to another #DebutNovelFriday (which can be found at https://www.tumblr.com/someplace-that-is-else/816186395347566592/debut-novel-friday-pierce-browns-red-rising ) but yes, I did get editing done. Not as much as I would like, but it was the calm in a #crazy storm.

But since I didn't get to talk about it last week...let's talk about it now...aka time for EDITING, TYPING, AND WRITING!!!!

EDITING. Like I mentioned...I had a lot of editing to do. So much so, that I had to #choose between editing and writing time.

So editing it was. There were several short stories that I wanted to go back over due to rewrites and formatting I wanted to do. I was very happy to find time to do a lot of what I needed to have done. Special #shoutout to my clipboard for keeping me focused.

This week, I expected more of the same. There was one editing project that I really wanted to be put in something major. But...more on that later.

TYPING. The highlight has been working on my latest Debut Novel Friday post. It has had some #bumps so far, but I had been busting them out. And it's been nice to see a format form from it. Who knew that I could still do short form writing.

That said...I felt this week was going to be about catch-up. Mostly with editing. So with that in mind...there would be no Debut Novel Friday this week. Fingers crossed to get back to it though. Goodness knows I had plenty to read.

WRITING. What I was shocked about this past week? I actually got #writing time!!

It had been great to sit down in a little shop (and I had some #pictures if you want to scroll below ;) ), get a nice mocha, and put my headphones in. And from there, I just let my pencil flow.

In case you missed it, my #WiP has been approaching the finish line for a while. In fact, I was working on the last scenes. I couldn't believe it!

It has felt bittersweet. As the story slowly resolved itself, I found myself having second doubts. I've been working on this novel for months. At the same time, I wonder if I have resolved all the subplots. Am I forgetting anything? Anyone? Does that feel right for the character? I've been just...going with the flow. I've been trusting where the ending is going. I did know the ending, but the #road to getting there has been its own thing. Do I think Alicia will get her happy ending? Well...I guess you will find out soon enough.

And yes, I will have writing time this week so...YAY!!!!

That was how the week was looking. :)
