Oh, gaspers!
Oh, jeezums!
Oh, beepers!
Any of those doing anything for ya? 😉
Alright, so no review this week. Not from lack of reading, I assure you. Instead, I thought I’d drop you all a line to celebrate!
MUTHAFUGGIN CELEBRATION!!!
I just finished editing the third draft of my novel! Now, I got this blog on queue, so this magic actually happened last month. When you read this, I’ll be working on typing out the fourth (and hopefully final) draft before sending this baby out and praying for something cool to happen.
Weird little tidbit: I had no idea what was going to happen. By that, I mean with the ending, and by that, I mean that I had a general idea of how it would close out, but not so clear on how it would get there. It’s taken three drafts to get the beginnings of an idea, and it took editing that third draft to finally get that little light bulb in my head to spark up.
So, from my editing notes, I need to:
- Give the last few sections a major revision
- Do some more research on what happens when you go blind in one eye (and really I should just be able to ask my doctor at work about that) (perks of being an optician)
- Set up a timeline (don’t give me shit I don’t do plot for the most part when I do these things)
- Make a map (physical map) (should’ve done that to begin with) (didn’t seem important at the time) (sue me)
- Read up on some voodoo hoodoo
I have my work cut out for me. But I’m one step closer.
And now, to celebrate. Probably with some San Pedro and a margarita the size of my face. What do you do for yourself when you meet a goal?
