I promised myself I wouldn't neglect my blog this month. Since I finished the rough draft of my novel, I've only been posting about one post a month, which is sad. I'm trying to maintain this thing because that's what editors and so on want you to do. "Blogs are cool," they say. Regardless, I've had very little to say lately and I hate to repeat myself. I'll save everyone some time and summarize what the last few weeks of post titles would have read.

You get the idea. What am I doing now? You guessed it. Editing. I have reached the 55,000 word mark on the "final" manuscript, though. I'm hoping to have it done before summer, because I have the feeling that I'll be doing very little writing over summer vacation. I have bad work ethic when I'm not alone with the computer.
I'm planning on distributing some copies of the "final" manuscript to friends and family who are genuinely interested in reading it. I figure it'll probably be a couple years before it actually gets into print, and this way they don't have to wait as long. I'm done with self publishing at the moment. No sir, I did not like it. Too many insistent, screaming voices with nothing to say. Reading some of the more bad self-published stuff made me actually pity agents and editors who receive a hundred of those everyday. I express pity now, but I'm sure I'll rage against those same people when they reject my novel. Rejection's just part of it, I guess.
Uhm, something to wrap this post up...cows. Cows in tuxedos.
