I've been editing for about a week or so now, and my only thought each time I pick up the manuscript is, why are there so many gosh darn chapters?? I'm on chapter nine of thirty-one, and just when it seems like I'm getting a lot done, it's like...wow, only three pages? Way to go, Bree. Awesome. I think I'm going to blame the inundation of junk the world has given us. TV! Kindle! Books! Shoes! It's ridiculous.
So, I thought of those infinite words of wisdom whenever you read a fitness blog or anything that has to do with exercise. They say that if you want to stay steady with what you're doing, you should have a workout buddy. That's supposed to keep you going because you already promised someone that you would do whatever, and then the guilt will consume you if you skip out on even one workout. (This is why I don't exercise. Guilt and I aren't good friends.) But, if I can't have a workout buddy, I do have a blog. And here's my already guilt-ridden promise: I will be done editing this manuscript by the end of May.
I know what you're thinking: end of May? Um, it's only May 3. Well, yeah, I'm aware of that, but I'm also aware of who I am. I've got a few things to do in May and one big graduation to prepare for in June, so the added stress of buckling down and finishing editing in two weeks...Nope. Not going to happen. So now it's out there and I can't back down from that. No matter what life throws at me, it'll be done.
Now that I've said that, I'm off to finish the latest Vampire Diaries and get through another hundred pages of NOS4A2 before I have to get ready for that pesky thing called work. Don't worry...I'll stick to my word, even with all that.
