Now at 70% with the second draft of the second novel. At this rate, I think I'm going to finish at the end of December. This book will then be released by next year.
I need to create again...
The revision phase has shackled me to pruning mode, but my psyche is begging for creation mode. To sate that hunger, I'm planning on writing short stories, planning outlines and world building. Those I'm scheduling during my lunch hour at work.
But if that's the case, then my copywork exercise would be bumped off. Usually, I do my copywork during lunch hours. That said, I'm planning on doing these exercises every morning.
Of course reading comes in between. I read in the train, read while eating, read before going to sleep, read when there's nothing good on TV (or wait for my husband to come back home so we can binge watch Netflix).
Looking at this, I am fully devoted to my writing craft. Because of this, I am losing my interest in playing video games. The last game I played to the fullest was Octopath Traveler. After that? None.
I'm not even excited for Spider-Man or Red Dead Redemption 2 even though I had expressed my excitement on those titles. They're available now, but I can't seem to nudge myself in clicking the "buy" button.
Though it may be a loss, it is also a gain.
