March Updates: Editing, and Some April Plans

3/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Hello my Scripturients,
March... March was the month that I told myself I was going to come forward full force for my blog and for my youtube channel... instead I fell off the face of the earth. I didn't read that much that month, I didn't really get to write or edit all that much, however I did have a really great month.  I have started the apartment hunting process with two of my favorite people, I have gotten another job which should make me a bit more moolla $$ and make it easier for me to meet my publishing goals... after I pay the bills. 
This month I stepped into another management roll in the theater for my old high school and have a few new avenues coming up for me. So while I haven't been as productive as I wanted to, and I can't check the box for that goal I can check the box saying I took care of myself and felt genuinely happy. And I personally think that that is all that matters.

​I do still have ideas for several videos that I was going to put out, and I still plan on putting those videos out. So you will see newer videos on my youtube. I am also going to be doing Camp NaNoWriMo again, and I will be doing weekly vlogs again this time around. I did want to work on a different project but I will be using it as a push to get my edits done. I am creating a cabin for it similar to what Kristen Martin and Vivien Reis did last year. We all have our own projects and goals but doing these little daily check-in's makes all the difference. It really holds you accountable. If you would like to join my cabin click HERE to go to my account and send me a message and I will add you! This has been open since Monday so I want to apologize in advance if you miss that chance, we could still do buddy messages.
So Katelyn how did your editing actually go for the month? 
Wellllll.... I finished editing the physical proof
*wooooooo* *Insert crowd noises here* 
Butttt I only transcribed three of those chapters. *Whomp whomp whomp* While it doesn't take me to long to find edits and write them into the book, it takes much, much longer to put those edits into the computer. Much longer than I anticipated. So if you again, if you wanna be able to yell at me if I don't edit join me for Camp Nanowrimo! I am going to try much, much harder to be more active, even with jobs and moving in two months.... HELP
Goal: Have book edited and in beta process by June 1st.
Make me do this people!

Love,
Katelyn

February Writing Update, and March Goals

3/2/2018

Hello Scripturients,
I know February is a fast month. But it felt like a really  fast month this year. I have been incredibly busy finishing a run of a musical, subbing at school, and working on finding another part time job. But I did manage to get a few of the goals done for February.
​1. Edit through page 357/ Chapter 37
This was a pretty loft goal for myself seeing as I only edited up to page 103 in January. That being said I did get edited up to page XXX. Down below you will see a vlog from last weekend when I spent all day editing and managed to get up to page 245. 100 pages in one day. Now if I edit at least 15 pages a day I will make my goal of getting edits done by 3/15.
2. Continue to Outline ISS Project
I sort of did this. I made a great list of outline and scene ideas... but it got lost. :( So I have quite a few different bits and pieces of scenes but that structure I had, fell out of my bag, or my notebook. I have an idea of what was down. But losing the paper took away a lot of the confidence that I had. I still need to do quite a bit of research on military training before I start writing.
3.Print proof copy of Silver Manor for future edits.
Check I did this! I plan on working on the edits for this when I get The Frituals out for edits in April. 
My March Goals:
1. Finish Edits in physical proof by 3/15
I need to finish the edits of The Frituals. I have a few things planned out for it which I will share in a later video or blog post. So I need to get through the last 200 ish pages in 15 days.
2. Transfer edits and format for beta's and crit partners
Starting 3/1 I need to start transferring the edits into my computer document so I can send out for beta edits starting April 2nd. If you think you want to be part of that process check back here 3/15 where I will have more information on how to get involved.
3. Order a new proof, once create space, one Ingram spark
Once I get all those edits transferred over I want to take advantage of the NaNoWriMo winning goodie of getting to upload a free file to Ingram spark and get a free proof. I want to compare the books from create space and Ingram for myself to make a decision for my future books.
 To see more updates from me follow me around on social media the links will be down below.
Love,
Katelyn
