Today's Daily Writing Note:
I finished the smut scene I was working on so just basically have to write the morning after, confessions, and wrap things up. Hopefully I can manage that much today.
It's weird, but with being so close to finished with the manuscript I'm both stressed an excited. I'm also kind of weirdly disappointed that it's not longer. Partly because it's close to being long enough my publisher would have done a printed copy but it's still too short for that. Well I'm kind of tentatively planning to write a sequel for it so maybe if I do they can combine them to make a printed book. I've got a kind of vague idea for what I'd do for one so maybe. First though I have two other stories that I need to write.
I have sooooo much I'm going to be working on this summer. I'm excited about it and dreading it at the same time. So much work. It's a lot harder to sit down and write steady x number of words a week than it is to just push out half-assed fanfics. I didn't THINK I was being lazy with my fics but I am seeing exactly how lazy I have been. My next (self-imposed) deadline to finish my next story is the end of August. Hoping it won't take me that long but I am taking a week or so off to read so it very well might as that leaves me less than 3 months and even at 10k a week it could turn out longer than anticipated again. *eyes her muses* please no. *does not like their smirks* I intend to keep up my 10k a week goal in the hopes of maintaining a work flow.
So yeah that's uh where I'm at... so back to writing I guess.
