I have got to pick up the pace on writing for this month if I don't want to write like crazy in the very last week. Hopefully now I can.
I finished chapter 4 with all of the required editing that was necessary for setting up chapter 5. I also ended chapter 4 on a bit of a cliff hanger, which means I probably should shoot to have chapter 5 done soon so my friend doesn't kill me. The fact that I take forever to write anything is probably driving her crazy, but when I leave something on a cliff hanger like that its asking for a death sentence. The only thing worse than leaving it on a cliff hanger in the middle of the book is leaving it on a cliff hanger while at the same time stopping all production completely. That would drive her insane.
I think one of the things that has been holding me back is I keep thinking the same thing I do when I'm in school. "Man, writing this isn't fun but video games are!" And then I go off and play games instead of doing work. What can I say, I'm addicted to video games (though they aren't technically addictive). That and my sleep schedule is once again screwed-up, so I don't exactly know when night is. Lets put this in retrospective, if you will. I write best about an hour or two before I go to bed. If I don't know when that is because I go to sleep at 7 AM or so, then how can I settle down to write something? The fact is I can't, and so I don't. So I need to figure out some sort of new schedule here quickly that will help with that problem too.
Anyway, gonna go back and write some more! Also, just thought I deleted this post which would have made me sad.
