Editing, writing, and that RL thing
So, my writing life looks like this pretty much every week:
- Edit one scene Narissia
- Edit one scene Boybands
- Edit one scene Steampunk
- Write one scene werewolves
- Write one scene not werewolves
That's it. I don't get more specific than that, because I don't want to lock in my brain on what it has to write, so that I can write. Weird, but there ya go.
The editing is going. Steampunk and Narissia, at least, are getting close to being done. Then, rewriting will occur. I think I have like 10 more scenes on Steampunk and about that on Narissia. Considering all three of these things were NaNos, the fact that I'm going back and editing is something, I guess?
I do like editing them, because it reminds me that I'm not that bad a writer. I need to edit, I'm not that full of myself, but I can write.
I also have two shorties (like, less than 1000 words) that need edited, rewritten and expanded upon. I plan on working on those once Steampunk/Narissia are done. I like the reworking process, but right now, I'm taking a deep breath and working on getting some longer things written and worked on.
So that's writing/editing.
In the RL thing....
Well, still no job. Still no hope. Still nothing. I'm still applying just about anywhere/everywhere I can. The problem I'm running into is the lack of vehicle. I have no car, and several jobs require a car to do the job. I don't understand why, but there ya go.
The estate is on hold, and needs to be handled, but can't be until DFAS (Military accounting) sends my uncle's final pay and I can add it to the money and distribute. Right now it sits at something like $250k. I'm just "AAAAAHHHHH" about it.
Other than that, I am not doing well. I keep that, mostly, to myself, because no one needs burdens with all the shit going on in my brain. I'm so tired.
Oh, and Thursday is my 47th birthday. Woo? I'm asking peeps if they want to get me anything to pick from these two Amazon lists.
The first is stuff the second is Kindle books. Pretty cheap, so... ya know? I mean, no one has to, but just putting it out there.
So yeah, that's it from here.
