So the declaration was four blogs in three days. Unfortunately I didn't make it. I did however knock out the other 97% of the things I set out to accomplish this weekend.
I wrote three blogs. One about motivation, one about the wife being away and now this one. This one isn't going to be anything incredibly exciting but it will be my Doogie Howser M.D. journal entry of the week.
3 of 4 ain't too bad. I actually have reviewed about 9 chapters into my book and made some changes and additions. I have a chunk I need to add towards the beginning and straighten out some dialogue for Chapter 9, but it's looking really good. When I started this weekend I was at 27,000 words, I'm now at almost 33,000. The average book is anywhere from 80,000-120,000; Essentially I'm 25% there.
What if people actually liked the book? What if poeple loved it? What if they asked me to write another one? What kind of money do they pay? Would I have enough time to write while maintaining a full 40 hour/week job? What happens when that becomes a reality?
That will become a reality.
Writing is tricky but much like anything else, when you love doing something, it's hardly work. I even wrote out the outline for a whole new book this weekend. I dove right in and wrote the summaries for the first three chapters too, then realized time is money, so I focused on Book#1 before going any further with book #2. Now I have an option for when I'm done with this one.
Speaking of work, I have to get up in 5 hours. I love you bitches, but #3 will have to end with a good night.
If you guys have suggestions on any topics you'd like me to disect, let me know. "What's the deal with elevators?" lol...
