A quick NaNo update
Nov. 18th, 2012 06:54 pmI think it's safe to say at this point I'm failing at NaNoWriMo this year, although I am unsurprised since I didn't do NaNo last year because precisely for the same reason I'm having troubles this year -- school + work + writing = AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
So basically, I'm holding onto "Heroine Withdrawal" until after finals. I can work on getting a good base started, and then when spring rolls around, two of my classes are weekender (and therefore every other weekend), one of online, and another is a Monday night class that doesn't start until the end of February anyway. Also, I've got my advanced creative writing class next semester anyway, and that perked my muse up this last spring, so that's probably a better idea anyway.
THAT SAID.
I'm currently trying to get "The Monsters of Moosic" edited ASAP to get it ready to self-pub by the end of the month. Firstly, I told myself I was going to self-pub again this year if I couldn't find a publisher or an agent (not that I've had the time to breathe, much less look for either) and I've got a perfectly acceptable manuscript to publish, so I'm publishing it. And also, I'm having a difficult time finding a new job and this one isn't getting any better, so ... you know, sell a book.
So I've got to get it edited and get it ready to post and dig up a cover and generally work my ass off for the next week or so. And I get to do it while finishing my paper on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's new album for my jazz class which is due Tuesday and tidying up my Math Throughout History presentation for next week's class.
... kill me now?
