10 Days

That’s how long I have to finish the rough draft of FayTown Calling.

Why am I telling you that?

Because I’m going to record my progress here.

Let me lay this out in detail.

I’m off work, ten days of wide open time to write and create, time I intend to use its full extent. The first third is pretty much done, enough that I’d be happy to let someone read it. The second third is rough but will really only need some polish. It’s that last third that’s going to be the tough part.

Does this mean FayTown Calling will be out in June? No, sorry. After I’m “finished” there’s a good bit of editing that will need to happen. Not polish, I intend to polish it as best I can in these ten days as well, but still a lot of work to make sure it is presentable.

It will however be going out to Beta readers at that point. I already have a couple people who’ve expressed interest (though that was a little bit ago) but if you’re interested, please let me know and I will include you on the list.

So, my goal for the first day is to work through eight sections I have in my Scrivener file. Not chapters per se, honestly they could be more or less than eight. That’ll put me about halfway through that second third of the story. Most of this is already there but I’ve made some changes in story direction that will overhaul some places. There is also a section that has always been weak that I need to figure out what to do with.

Tomorrow (or late this evening), I will update how today went. This is to give insights into the progress of the story for anyone who’s interested, but really it’s to keep me on track. Even if no one reads these posts, just the fact I’m putting them out there for public record is enough to get me into gear.

Alright, I have to go write. See ya’ll tomorrow.
