This week is an update blog on my manuscript, Love At the Mayo. While I’m on schedule with editing a chapter a day, three on Mondays, I’m still slightly behind.
What?!?
Yep. I split up a chapter and added two new chapters. But good news, I might be deleting at least one chapter toward the end. And I’m going to spend Wednesday and all day Saturday editing. If necessary, I have Memorial Day as well.
We will see.
But I’m determined to meet this deadline.
Snacks anyone? I’ll need them as I’m staying up. Maybe, light background music. I discovered a French bluegrass musician, Tété. His sound is very light but upbeat, great for background music while writing. And I think my protagonist would enjoy his music.
Another soundtrack I’m enjoying is from The Chosen series. Some songs are inspiring, others cheerful, and others poignant.
Ways to improve this week:
- Get up a half-an-hour earlier and write by 5 am. (I write best in the morning).
- Don’t get distracted by my phone, but turn it off while writing.
- Do better recording my progress daily, instead of weekly.
- Set a schedule to work extra hours on Wednesday and Saturday. (Wednesday at 4 pm- 8 pm); Saturday at 10-6 pm. (Uh oh, I better tell my husband. I’m fortunate because he’s supportive and will help make this happen!)
Any more tips? Please share in Comments below. Thank you!
