Finding My Groove
It has been quite a couple of weeks since I have asked my beta to post for me on Mondays because of my summer job. At first, finding time to edit my chapters was VERY difficult, I mean...looking over them only two times or so (as you would know if you have read my previous blog) was a large step down from the six to seven times I was use to.
Finally though, I have found reviewing the chapter one to two times during the weekend helps a LOT! Sure...that means finding time during the weekend, but it is really my best solution ^^ I have not been feeling as stressed about editing these chapters which is a HUGE bonus for me, because when I am stressed and writing...my writing gets crappy :/ So yay for finding my groove! Now I know what I will end up doing for when I have an acutal, full time, year round, job!
So this is kind of how my week goes now (using this week as an example),
Saturday (7/25): EDIT, EDIT, EDIT, EDIT chapter 28
Sunday: EDIT, EDIT, EDIT, EDIT chapter 28
Monday: Have ~lovely~ beta post chapter 27 and edit chapter 28 as much as possible
Tuesday: Edit chapter 28 some more
Wednesday: Edit chapter 28 even more, maybe start going through it a third time now...maybe (start to bug beta about reviewing it xD)
Thrusday: Edit a little more of chapter 28 (while still urging beta to review more)
Friday: Force self to edit more of chapter 28 when I could be laying in bed, resting, after a long week (checks how far beta has gotten with reviewing, hopefully almost fully completed)
Saturday: Last minute editing touch ups on chapter 28 (perferably have beta done reviewing by now) & EDIT, EDIT, EDIT, EDIT chapter 29
Sunday: Look through chapter 28 and make sure everything is PERFECT and I have a picture ready along with a/n completed & EDIT, EDIT, EDIT, EDIT chapter 29
But there is an inside little view on what my week is like just to get a chapter ready for you guys. Lots and lots of editing and bothering of the beta to make sure things are completed on time with as little stress as possible. This also shows how HARD it can be for me to do a double update, because I have to double what I do during the week...which is still hard enough as it is since all I want to do is relax and sleep after getting home from work.
I swear...this could be my full time job...writing and editing my fics! Can I please get paid to do this!? >_< I would do it! I volunteer! *waves hands in air eagerly*
Anyways...just felt like posting this :P I needed a break from editing chapter 28 so...here I am hahaa~! ;D Now...back to work for a little while longer!
