OK, so yesterday was definitely an off day for me. I didn’t just fail on this–I failed in basically every area of my life, haha. I mean, nothing detrimental, it’s just that basically noting got done yesterday. At all.
And you know what? It’s OK, because I had a great day today
Today was all about my characters’ abilities (there are supernatural elements to my book), so there was much researching, pondering, and wishing I had my own superpowers. I also weighed more on the culture of their world.
Note: Some of you (and by “some of you” I mean “the one person who reads this”) might wonder why I’m doing so much prep-work, but no outlining or real writing.
It’s because I’ve actually already written the first draft of the book, and this is all part of revising. I know from the first draft where it’s weak, where it’s strong, where I didn’t know what I was talking about, and where I need more information before it’s printer-ready.
So this is all just me pulling the details together before I dive into a rewrite/edit session, which probably won’t really take that much time, seeing as most of the heavy lifting has been done at this point.
Another productive thing I did today: I went through the 90 Days To Your Novel book and made a game plan for this weekend, and fire catching up.
Optimistic, I know. What can I say? I’m ambitious.
And that’s what Day 22 looked like. Summary of the day: WIN.
Happy writing, everyone!
