The Idea Girl Says Word Press

I’m Too Tired – I posted My Blog on the wrong site. :)

im tired too

Tiredness strikes again. Here I thought I was posting my blog on the correct site and I end up putting it on the wrong one, again! I put up four movie reviews and some information about my first novel that I’m writing.

Yes I’m droning on about The Munroe Mansion – Final Editing and Revising.

I share how to fix errors in your manuscript (you can use my ideas but I won’t guarantee that they are the CORRECT way to do things.)

I’m just going simply by common sense.

I realize that I have bought a total of 20 paperbacks at the Flea Market, that I’m supposed to be doing “Research” on.
I’ve got 3 Library books to do “Notes” on.

I was already to tackle them, then I went to the Flea Market last week and spoke to a woman about my manuscript.

She knows some people that might be able to help me pave the way to success.

So I was told to get my manuscript in shape, completed and ready to roll asap!

I also have to finish Chapters 12 – 49 in the Synopsis for The Munroe Mansion – The Beginning.

It took me 8 hours to do 3 chapters.

Do the math, this is taking me forever and driving me batty.

So this is what I’m going to do instead.

I promise myself I’d get up around 7:30 a.m in the morning and work till 3:30 or 4:00 pm each day until this novel is completely finished, that means manuscript, synopsis, cover letter and Query Letters.

Everything has to be finished before I can start Book Two.

My deadline is the end of October because NANAMO starts on NOVEMBER 1st, and my goal is to write a whole new novel in 30 days!

It’s going to be chic lit, and I have NO idea what it’s going to be about.

But it’s going to be so much fun just to sit and write and create.

I don’t use the typewriter for this, I like writing it out in paper and pen. (I’m old school)

But then I find typing isn’t too bad at times.

What I did last time was write for five days then type for two days.

Yes with this project you work on every single day of the month.

The goal is to write a 50,000 word count novel, revise it and have it ready as a manuscript?

Last year I wrote the novel, but failed to revise any of it. :)

I’ve actually written Book One from scratch back in June of 2009 and it’s pretty much done as of October 2009, except for the final readings and synopsis, which I am working my butt off to complete this week!

It doesn’t help that my darling sweetheart is home sick this week and driving me nuts with constant interruptions.

I kicked him out of the house yesterday, told him to go do whatever he wanted.

He returns two hours later and doesn’t know what to do with himself. LOL

I told him he needed fresh air, to feel better.

He was sick for about 5 days, then got better, now he’s under the weather again.

And now so am I.

We walked from 2 am to 330 am to get home in the dark along some stupid TRAIL that I thought would be a 10 minute shortcut.

This was after watching Michael Jackson’s This is it from midnight till 2:30 am.

All the way home I was reprimanded that if we had gone HIS way, we’d be home in 30 minutes. It was really dark out there with lots of trees, shrubs and mangled vegetation. It was scary too!

Needless to say I ended up on some god forsaken railway bridge with BIG gaps in it and I was scared sh*tless that I was going to fall!

Thank god for my small little LED light that I had on me or I would have been royally screwed.

To top it off it began to rain and all I had on was a thin sweatshirt. :)

So both of us are feeling like crap.

Me, I’ve been up since 7:30 this morning working on the manuscript and coughing like a trooper. I’ve eaten half the bag of halls and i’m on a sugar high? :)

But anyways usually I’d crawl into bed when I feel this crappy but I’m determined to get something done.

I was already out of commission last weekend for 3 days in a row. :)

Currently I’m listening to 528 hz, which is supposed to vibrate your brain and body and bring healing and DNA repair.

It works, plus have a few cups of GREEN TEA with some honey and you will feel better too.

OMG I’ve written 718 words of whining. :) Sorry about that.

Hope you found it entertaining. :)
