WiP Wednesdays 12/30

Remember when I said the universe had it out for me?

Yeah.  Spoke to soon.

The universe loathes me.

I've still got nearly 22,000 words to write for Oracles Promise.  That is so not going to happen before the end of the year.  I'm beginning to wonder if the universe plans for me to never finish this book.

At what point do I cave and move to the next project?  When do I wave the white flag of surrender and tell the universe she wins?

After all, I've been working on this book since I was in high school.

Now I'm soon to embark on my third degree since graduating from high school.  And I'm still not done with the dumb book.

I so wanted to swear right then.  Sigh.

That's all.  I'll now move on to the actual WiP update.

I've accomplished very little by way of writing since last I posted any sort of update on here.  I know I seem to have been away for a very long time.  Between being sick with the cold that would not go away and the holidays that landed upon me with very little warning, I had very little time to do anything but tread water to stay afloat.

I have, though, revamped the outlines for the first two books in the Sunstone trilogy.  I lost 3 chapters or so from book 2 and moved their principle contents to chapters in book 1.  Then I had to hurry to get ready for work so I didn't really have time to do any more writing that day.  And it was the first day back to writing in probably a good week and a half.

It's been slow-go as far as progress trying to jump back into the book and writing mode.

That is all.

Writing Goals

You know that feeling of being watched?  You can tell someone's got it out for you.  That's the universe staring at you.  The universe tends to have it out for you.  She likes to interfere with your best-laid plans and your well-intentioned goals.

Like the goal of being done with Oracles Promise before this Saturday.

Not. going. to. happen.

The universe has it out for me.  She threw a killer cold my way and I've been lucky to get from my bed to the couch.  Forget trying to pound out the words that I need to finish before Saturday.  New goal= finish by Christmas.  I'll be lucky if I do, but it at least takes some pressure off.
