So. Friday. The end of the week. The beginning of the weekend. Nothing much happens on a Friday.
Okay, I'm not very good at being nonchalant, so I may as well just shout it out: I'm done! Finished! Other such synonyms that mean to be completed!
Yes, that's right, loyal readers, I finished writing. I actually finished on Tuesday, but then I was preparing stuff for work and moving and jobs and NaNo, so I kind of forgot to inform anyone about my amazing feat. So that's what I'm doing right now. I'm letting you all know that I'm absolutely amazing and I finished what I set out to do and I'm the greatest person in the entire universe.
Whoa, conceited much, right?
I have to be right now. Do you know what's sitting on my couch at this very moment? Sitting there, staring at me, waiting for me to go over there and acknowledge it? If you said my manuscript all bounded with highlighters and sticky notes sitting on top of it, you'd be right. Editing. The bane of my existence. It starts this weekend. I (sadly) might have this whole weekend to myself, and, if I do, there's no excuse for not beginning the editing process right away. If, however, I don't have the weekend to myself, I guess it could wait until Monday, right? Because Monday is when we do all those things we hate, all those things that we shoved off so we could enjoy our weekend.
In case you think I'm just being dramatic, I suggest you revisit my other posts on editing. Then you'll understand that my hatred for it runs deep.
Luckily, I won't have time to start editing after I finish writing this. I woke up this morning and realized that it's October 3rd. That date means nothing to me, but it does mean that I have exactly four weeks until I have to be out of my apartment. Four weeks sounds like a long time (a month!), but I'm one of those people that start to think about everything that needs to be done, then it snowballs into projects that will (in my mind) take days to complete, and I have to get started right away. Honestly, I could probably pack up my apartment and do everything I need to do in about two weeks, but I might as well get started earlier so I could be done earlier, right? That makes sense in the adult world, I'm guessing.
So now I'm off to clean out the rest of my cupboards and the closet (a project I started weeks ago and never really finished). The editing will have to wait! Darn.
