Loser: Reporting for Duty...
Mood: Feeling pretty lazy...
What I'm Listening to Right Now: "Invisible" by Ashlee Simpson
Just a small update on Shanna Swendson, who is making me feel like a complete loser for writing so fast that it makes me feel completely inadequate... She'll be finishing the first draft of her book today. I know, I can't believe it either. She has literally started and finished a book in the time I've written about three chapters or so. I know this is my first book, and I also realize that I've been kind of lazy about writing in the past few weeks, but good lord. I am not worthy.
Although, I've got to tell you, I know that I can probably finish my book pretty fast if I could just stop being such a dork about it. I figured the other day that if I write around 3,000 words a day, for seventeen days straight, I'll be done with my book. You would think that would be enough motivation for me to write my rear-end off but not so. I'm just that much of a slacker.
And to be honest, that kind of scares me. I mean, after I get this draft done, all I have to do is go back and change some things and really make sure it's right and then I need to start sending it off to agent. Agents!! I know!
The thing is, I've fully prepared myself for rejection, because even though I'm confident in my book and my story, I know some people won't like it and will reject me. I've got that in my head, but I'm still not sure how I will deal with it when it actually happens.
All I have to say is that this blog will get really interesting sometime in the fall. Eeek!
Have a great day everybody.
