Writing Challenge: April

 I doubt I'll be finishing a project this month either, but I have gotten over 50K words written, so I'm calling it a win. The fact that over half of those were written in the last three days...well, we'll call that a minor miracle.

The Night Shift, is over halfway done, and rolling along quite well actually. My new project (the one that's grown so quickly) is The Rules of Engagement (working title) and at current count over 26K. It's been causing some late nights...

Writing query letters to send out, trying to figure out what a query blast is, if you know please comment, and trying not to eat all of the Easter candy in one fell swoop.

While the point of this year was to finish projects, I can't argue with word count and I am writing inordinately more words than I normally do. I've noticed something else too, my early drafts are getting cleaner and sharper with each passing month. The first project I finished, A Nefarious and Evil Tale, needs a serious revision, which reminds me to announce next year's challenge.

The Year Long Revision Challenge!

That's right, I'll be revising, finishing, revising, editing, revising, etcetera, a novel a month starting in August with... A Nefarious and Evil Tale. I'll put up a full schedule later.

I'm currently looking for beta readers for a few projects. Mostly Legion's Web, and possibly a couple others. I will need beta's for my contracted project at some point, because I believe it's important to get as many opinions as humanly possible. 

In other news, I'm drawing again. I think this is because I'm not writing. It seems like I can't do one while I do the other. Very odd. 

Also, went through my files and discovered three stories were eaten by demons. THREE. This is highly irregular. I found the original hand written version for one, but am searching for the other's and the final was actually more of a rough concept but still, it just...vanished. 

This has also been happening with my Itunes library. I've complained, but nothing has been resolved. Seriously, when a song is there one day, and gone the next, it's a problem. 

Currently I'm listening to music. It serves a twofold purpose of keeping my alert and at the same time relaxing me enough to not get irritated by my missing files.
