Well not really. I’m not going anywhere. Nobody’s coming here. It’s not even a really good figurative title. The only thing going “off” is my alarm clock every day at noon. But! As of yesterday evening I finished the pre-beta edits for my upcoming novella and have sent it off to beta. Wow. I must have no life. In less than a month I wrote a 45k novella, rewrote it, edited it, rewrote it again, and then finally edited it one last time and then sent it off to beta. This is my life. Every day.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, my evenings are so consumed with writing\/editing that I had NO IDEA what to do with myself later on. I just sat here, after doing my cleaning and blogging, going, “Now what?!” I had idle hands. You’d think I’d take a break, right? Give my brain the night off? Nah. I WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE NEXT ONE~ Wrote two pages before finally going to sleep. Writing 3k every day is so infused in me now that I don’t know how to function otherwise. I mean I got nothing else to do with my time…<\/p>\n

So while I wait to hear back from betas on this novella, I’ve started the next. I plan on releasing both by the end of the year (more details to come, but basically, a couple months apart) so might as well get as much done now as I can before my brain becomes consumed with more editing, Camp, formatting, and marketing! Oh goodness. The life I’ve signed up for.<\/p>\n

That was my week! Huh, for once I actually had something to talk about. As for the cleaning? Taking a break from it tonight. I have a million CDs to put away and I just don’t want to. Ha!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
