No time to celebrate
No time to really write this out, but I’m doing it anyway, gol’darn it.
I finished the first draft of CR today.
But rather than celebrate, I get to work on Ashleigh Raine stuff as well as copywriting for Centric. Not that I’m complaining, but I sure hope I end up with an ounce of time to take myself back to Peet’s for a hot cocoa at least.
There’s nothing like the joy of being busy… But finishing a book is at least cause to drink some good cocoa… What’s the point of being busy if there’s no time to stop and celebrate every time a task is complete?
By the way. I started the first draft on March 7. That means draft one took me 14 weeks and 4 days… Or 3 months and 10 days.
Wow. That’s my record so far. BR took 4 months and 10 days and it was 10K shorter than CR. 7 months and 14 days for OR–but I took a month off while Jen and I were re-editing LT.
No wonder CR seemed to fly by…It did! I can’t wait to go back through and polish it, but I’ll be good and take a month off so I can have fresh eyes on it when I do open it back up.
I just noticed that all my books’ second word in their titles start with R. All 3 books are totally unrelated and they’re all in different genres, too. Strange.
