My inscape on sheets and sheets ...

Wow! A whole year later and this book is still not done. Granted, 2020 took everything I had just to get through, My anxiety was at an all time high and it's only moderately better managed now. I'm holding on. I hope you are to.

Of the very good, edits are not bad. We're at 85K words now. Things are coming together. I sent the MS out for beta reads late in 2019 and all of the notes that came back were terrific. Daunting to work through, but terrific. I even started a new MS. Fingers crossed I get this one ready for submissions in July. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Tell me your good news and all your thoughts of god ... I'd really like to meet him. ;)

Good luck with the edits!

[seraphcelene]

Edits remain garbage! The whole thing is garbage! I am not in love with it right now.

How are you? Life is crazy.

Life is very crazy! I'm in the weeds of a manuscript right now, and I've only just finished working on another work qualification, so I'm exhausted. Looking forward to having more time outside work to think about my WIP now that the qualification is done, though.

[seraphcelene]

OH, wow!! What kind of qualification???

I'm sorry life is crazy! How's your MS? Do you have a finished draft? Still fleshing out the plot? What kind of edits?

[thawrecka]

It's a bookkeeping qualification for work (I'm still doing office admin, but now in accounts). It's very dull, and I can't say this is particularly the direction I wanted my career to go, but such is life.

I do not have a finished draft, alas. Between starting a new job with a big learning curve in late 2020 and early this year I wrote very little because I didn't have the energy, so I'm still trying to get back in the habit of writing regularly. I've written 20k of what I originally thought would be the bulk of the story and have now realised needs to be the last arc in an epic fantasy, and I'm taking a break to brainstorm more deeply and re-outline, while writing small things. I don't know if I'll finish the manuscript but at least it gets me back in the habit.
