Now, Now, Let's Not Get Ahead of Ourselves

I'm going to finish editing tonight :)
Rewrites start tomorrow :)
CreatSpace will have my manuscript and design by June!
I'll get a free proof copy, cuz' NaNoWriMo is AMAZING.
Then...

I haven't given up on hoping and planning and striving to be amazing, but I think once I get my self-published proof copy of this here novel, it will take a little nap. I'll go to Germany and take it by storm. I'll tour my dream college in late summer when I get home. I'll dive into senior year and all it entails...and I'll certainly conger up something new for NaNoWriMo 2010. As for getting anything like big time published, I don't need to rush it...I've decided. Sharing my work with the world is a huge step and a scary one. It brings a lot of rejection letters that I'm just not wanting to be dealing with senior year. It will come and I'll have at the very least three "completed" novels heading into college. Thanks to Chris Baty and his crazy idea to ask others to join him in writing a novel in 30 days once a year. As for when you'll see it on the shelves...I'm not concerned. My day will come.

It's a new semester in the morn and I'm actually ready to do some work. Things are okay and I like being okay. My foot is actually horrendous...but a triple-over time basketball game tends to do that. I can't wait for my advanced writing class which is coming, it's going to be AH-MAZE-ING. I also...should not wait to wrap this up and finish that editing!!! eeeeeekkkk. Cuz after all even writers need sleep sometimes ;-)

Night, ya bloglings.

Late Night Ramblings... of an original cynic

Howdy bloglings. It has been a while. No epic, world shattering event has occur ed recently in my life, but I'm in a blogging type mood and there I some things I suppose I'd like to share. For example, read "Forest for the Trees" By: Betsy Lerner. She worked for some big wigs and I mean, like the awesome kind: aka publishers. She's an editor, like it's her day-job! I must say she's rather funny and clever and super-insightful. I'd say it's pretty much the guide of guides for any writer and if not a guide an enjoyable read, especially the first section. I'm not done...but I am done that section! lol. It gives her take on the different types of writers and it's pretty much a riot...because she's so spot on. Writers, all writers, are in some shape or form neurotics. That, plain and simple written down has given me strength people. I'm neurotic for a reason now :) lol. It's just fun too... I'd also like to say, through interpreting her ideas I've decided writers are the original cynics. We're way more willing to think our work sucks than to congratulate any bit of accomplishment. Sad but true! The editing though, of my novel, is going quite well. I'm 17 till the end on my first read-through and I have yet to rip anything up, touch the not-hard copy (the one in the 'puter) or cry over it...yet I've come close. There is some mighty fine stuff in there, that certainly I couldn't have wrote ;-) and some utter CRAP that I know I wrote! but I'm just unsure what state I was in at the time... lol. The original cynic folks, the original.

What else...hmmmmm. I don't wanna grow up. Does anyone? I want to grasp the world, but still stay snuggy at home with mommy and daddy to guide me. Hey, college will be an adventure but I'm kind of a scared little girl. I have plenty of plans and big dreams. I'm not stupid. I'm just, anxious, scared and perhaps slightly average. (oh my god, it shocks me too) I don't know, all this getting senior year figured out and taking big (STUPID, just to rank me amongst others...when a college should respect each individual as an individual and choose them based upon them not how they rank) !!!!!!!!!!!!!) standardized test... I mean...go SATs?, taking responsibilities and thinking about leaving home, it's a little much. But heck, I can do it. Maybe. Eventually. At some point... hopefully more successfully than maintaining a blog! :D

I love blogging, it's just one of those mood things. I think all writers write like that...maybe. Mood things, are a big part of writing. Psyching oneself out to think there are "mood things" is also a big part of being a writer...says Lerner. And ha...okay yea, she's right. We're a unique breed but we like to think that we entertain somebody. ;-)

Night bloglings.

With love,
Katarzyna...oh of those (writer) weirdos. ;-)

Carry On

Carry on wayward son! I mean daughter? I'm just flying through life and it's mighty fine my dears mighty fine. Okay wow...that was scary lol. I'm hula hooping :D I have my own and I can do some "sick nasty" tricks. I'm editing...which is gross, but also calming never mind, mind-blowing. The manuscript can physically be in my hands whenever I want...of MY novel. Yay.

Oh and I decided to stop forcing myself to not feel. I like someone; they're worth liking. There's not much more to it than that...I mean really, there doesn't have to be contrary to common belief.


carry on wayward bloglings, carry on.
;-* MUAH!
