Met the Deadline—Almost

The past two months have been insanely crazy. Between two business trips (vending UTCH and MACHE), needed family time (a week and half with my sister’s family, a trip to hear my sister-in-law sing the lead in Maria Padilla), a funeral (my grandmother’s), and miscellaneous problems (book shipments gone awry, a busted waterbed, etc.), it has been a chaotic and a rollercoaster of a ride.

And in the midst of this, I had twenty chapters of my current WIP to finish revising for my teenage test readers.

Yeah. Definitely insanity.

But I was able to extend the original deadline by a week, which helped. I wouldn’t have made it otherwise. As it is I spent the night before the deadline working until 3:30 Am, typing in revisions. Not an experience I would want to repeat, but one worth having once.

Ultimately, I missed my deadline by fifteen minutes. Not the idea, but consider the past two months, I am please that I came that close. And in this case, I doubt any of my readers noticed the difference.

But now I can breathe again. Now I can catch up on the rest of life. Now I can return to blogging regularly.

I hope.
