We’re already about halfway through December. I had a lot of projects lined up for this month in an attempt to get myself prepared and ready for January and beyond in the new year.
I’ve been working extra hard and, surprisingly, it’s been going well.
What am I currently working on?
THE SCRIBE
I’m currently working on two projects right now. One is The Scribe, which was my NaNoWriMo novel last month. I’m currently editing it, hoping to finish the first draft by Friday so I can retype/rewrite it.
As I’ve been editing, I’ve realized a lot of things… not necessarily wrong, but just didn’t quite fit. In other words, I have to rewrite the entire beginning, so… we’ll see how that goes.
Hopefully, that will be done this week because I also hope to get through the second draft by the end of the month.
UNWRITTEN
I’m also editing another novel, Unwritten. I wrote that for Camp NaNoWriMo in April. I’ve been submitting a chapter to my local writer’s group each month. I’m finally getting around to looking at their feedback.
I’m going to edit the chapters I’ve received feedback for and edit the rest as well. So for the new year, my group should be reading the second draft material.
What’s the easiest part?
I actually have a good schedule down. I created a calendar for December and wrote in what I want to work on which days. I’ve been using Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Fridays to edit. I aim to edit each piece for at least two hours a day. While the process has been a bit slower than I would like, I’m making progress, so there’s no room for complaints.
What’s the hardest part?
I decided to do all this in December. The first week was slow because I had so many other things going on such as catching up with old friends and early Christmas parties.
Still, we’re about halfway through the month and I’ve been making good progress. So we’ll just have to see how the rest of the month goes!
