The end of 2017 is here. I would say it's been a wild ride, but I haven't been nearly as devoted to writing these last few months as I should have been. So instead I'm going to say that I'll try to do better next year. summary 0f 2017BOOKS STARTED: The Back of Wednesday (June 6) BOOKS COMPLETED: Paper Flowers {extended edition} (January 11) The Improbability of Forever (Kismet #2) (June 7) Unveil (Unveil #1) (December 14) BOOKS IN PROGRESS: Infiltration (Ballet Blog #9) (90%) The Back of Wednesday (26%) BOOKS EDITED: Pretty Plastic People Ellucid (46%) BOOKS I WANT TO WRITE: Ricochet Unsaid (Unveil #2) Curtain Call (Ballet Blog #10) The second half of the year has definitely been rougher than the first, but I've been adjusting to college so I'll give myself some credit.

Those of you who have stuck around for a really long time know that I hate editing. I always feel like I could be writing another book instead, so that's what I do. My finished first drafts sit in folders in my computer, and my to do lists always have that one thing to edit that I never check off. My past editing history can be boiled down to a month or two of heavy editing on Ten of Me and a couple rewrites of the first few books of the Ballet Blog series (if that can count for anything).
The truth is, I don't know where to start with editing at all. I look at a finished draft and I think "yeah, this could be a lot better," but I don't have any tangible things I want to change and the whole thing is just so large and intimidating that I never get around to it (see paragraph one). So I just go through and make my sentences a little prettier and maybe spiffy up some plot holes and call it a day. Friends, this is not editing. And I have known that for a very long time. I just choose to ignore it. But not anymore. Today, December 18, 2017, begins my editing journey for Unveil. I've been dreaming of seriously querying a book for a long time, which I can't do without editing, and so I'm starting today. No more excuses. By the end of the holiday season, I want a perfectly polished draft with a perfectly polished query, ready to send out (but likely not until February because agents are swamped in January. I officially have nothing to lose. So here goes nothing. (Oh, and I'm breaking down my editing into steps just in case you want to follow my unorganized mess of an editing process.) Step 1: figuring out what to change
I kind of cheated and did this step before December 18, but I'm including it because it is crucial.
Throwback to August 2017. I signed up for a writing critique group because a). it gave me credit towards a Creative Writing minor and b). I needed an excuse to keep writing with my busy college schedule. And when it came time to submit a writing sample, I submitted the first two chapters of Unveil because a). I needed motivation to keep writing it and b). it seemed like my least cliché teen romance novel. I almost quit the critique group after the first week because I had a paralyzing fear of sharing my work. That's probably strange to you because I upload literally all of my writing online, but something about associating my words with my face felt like a whole new milestone that I didn't think I was ready for. The professor convinced me to stay. Despite some rough weeks, I got some really solid critique on my first draft. Here's the thing: these people flat-out mutilated my first eight chapters.
And it was incredible.
I'm not going to lie and say I loved every moment of it. There were days when I went back to my dorm room and vented to my friends about how everything I wrote was wrong, and nothing was good enough for these people, etc. etc. etc. Cue self-pitying lamenting. But it was my most invaluable writing experience to date. Guys, having other eyes on your work is essential to making it the best it can be. And I don't just mean readers' eyes. Yes, I LOVE the encouragement I receive when I share my drafts online, but having these sometimes-scathing critiques were so important. Yes, it bristled my pride a little when people told me a scene was sappy, or Gabi rang somewhat like Bella from Twilight (major cringe). But it was worth it because I'd rather hear it from these people than an agent or an editor. Here's some major things my critique group urged me to change: Gabi's personality (she needed a more well-rounded character and more emotional connection), my sense of setting (I had to flesh out New York City, big-time), Gabi's relationship with Asher (Gabi seemed totally boy-crazy and obsessed with this guy), my transitions between dreams and reality, and my whole concept with watches and colors. Not only did they tell me these things, but they showed me specific places I could change my writing. And my professor, who lived in New York City for a good portion of her life, was integral in helping me make Gabi sound just like a true New Yorker. After the critique group ended, I read through the draft and added my own things I wanted to fix: Gabi's relationship with Emery (way too much, way too fast), character inconsistencies in Adrienne, Carolina, and Marisa, Asher and Emery's personalities (they both seemed kind of flat), and fixing some weird thing I'd tried to do with eye color but ended up scrapping mid-draft. This was a LONG list. But now I at least had a game plan. Step 2: the rewrite
Since I had so much to change, instead of going straight into the draft I started a brand new document and decided to go for a rewrite. Little by little, I copied paragraph by paragraph into the new document and either edited those paragraphs or rewrote them altogether. It was painstaking, but I was able to change all of the things I listed above at once, while making sure I didn't create new inconsistencies or miss out on anything.
(Oh, and during this process I also renamed Unveil, which is now Ellucid. Someone in my critique group suggested it (a mashup of elusive and lucid, as in lucid dreaming), and I fell in love.) Here's a day-by-day breakdown of my rewrite journey. DECEMBER 18: My newest conquest began with the copy-and-paste of the first chapter's heading and quote. I rewrote chapters 1 and 2, then called it a day because it was 1 AM and I was exhausted.
2 / 29 (6.89%)
Here's some before-and-after pics from the first day. I completely rewrote the first scene (which is now the book's opening), but the second before-and-after shows some more moderate edits.
As you can see, for the second scene I focused on fleshing out Gabi—plus, I added a subplot about her father, which is going to become significant in books 2 & 3.
Also, because I'm way more excited about this than I should be, I started drafting a query letter:
Okay, so obviously it still needs some help. But this is a draft, and I'm planning on sitting down and really focusing on it after I finish editing.
DECEMBER 19:
Today I edited chapters 3-5, which I think is making great progress.
5 / 29 (17.24%)
I still kind of hate chapter 5, but I'm letting it be for now and I may go back and do some more major changes during Round 2. I also added a whole breakfast scene at the beginning of the chapter with Nathan's mom which I actually like.
In other news, I made a list of everything I need to fix, as well as words I feel like I'm repeating WAY too much that I want to delete after the rewrite. As a writer, it's super important for me to identify words I tend to overuse so I can keep an eye out for them as I edit.
As you can probably see, I haven't made much progress with either checklist yet. But that's okay, because chapters 1-5 are my least favorite chapters in the whole book and round 1 of edits is done with them, and chapters 6-11 are my second least favorite chapters and those are next. After that, I think I'll feel a lot better.
On to day 3!
DECEMBER 21:
I had important non-writerly plans all day yesterday and couldn't edit—not ideal, but it's bound to happen. So today, I buckled down and got some serious work in.
8 / 29 (27.59%)
Chapter 6 has been easily the most difficult chapter for me to rewrite so far, and I have no idea why. There was a lot of setting description in that chapter, so that may be why—I spent literal hours researching New York City, because while I kind of made stuff up on the spot for my rough draft, I had to actually fact-check things this time and get my subway routes/street addresses/important landmarks straight. I completely rewrote the chapter (and most of chapter 7)—I saved maybe two or three sentences—and still don't know how I feel about it.
Here's a snippet from my newly created chapter 6:
The writer life is hard, y'all. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.
In other news, I made an inspirational trip to the bookstore today and treated myself with some new reads and now I am newly revived and more excited than ever to get this draft polished and ready to go. And another update—my editing checklists that I mentioned yesterday are growing ever-longer. So. Many. Repeated. Words.
Temporary pause on editing Ellucid so I can spiffy up Paper Flowers for submission to Swoon Reads—I'd been working on it gradually but the deadline crept up on me quicker than I'd thought! I'm resuming edits on this shortly.
DECEMBER 27:
Now that Pretty Plastic People is submitted on Swoon Reads I'm back in the game and ready to finish up Ellucid. I started slow today, working on ch. 9. Most of the day was spent making Emery and Gabi's relationship less sudden and less creepy. All good things, right?
9 / 29 (31.03%)
Also, after editing Pretty Plastic People with a fine-tooth comb, I realize just how much I repeat stuff about eyes and eyes flickering and people biting lips and wow it's a real problem. So that's going on—guess what?—my ever-growing editing checklist!
BEFORE: (I'm just trying not to roll my eyes at this)
Oh no! Gabi feels weak! Emery must catch her and pull her close! She just "wants to be held right now" because she's so, so confused. Poor thing. Literally hate this part so much.
AFTER: (I still want to go back and tweak this some more, but I've leaving it alone for now.)
I also made a handy schedule which, while balancing Pretty Plastic People, edits on Ellucid, and drafting The Back of Wednesday, should put me ready to query by the end of January.
DECEMBER 28:
Today wasn't a huge editing day, but I'm working on some other projects—finishing up Infiltration and outlining The Back of Wednesday—so it's all I had time for.
10 / 29 (34.48%)
Over one third finished with this part of editing!
Chapter 10 wasn't that difficult to edit—I liked most of it as it was, so it was mainly just adding detail and tweaking phrasing. Nothing too important. By the end of the week I want to have editing through chapter 15 done, which seems like a super manageable goal. Editing will also get quicker as I go along, because as I wrote the first draft I grew more confident in characterization/where I was heading with plot intricacies. Once I get to chapter 13 or so I'm expecting this to move along pretty swiftly. Here's progress on my editing checklist!
It's been a little while! I've been slowly (very slowly) editing Ellucid but have only just now gotten back around to updating you on here. I was through chapter 13 before I started editing today, and I made some awesome progress getting through chapters 14-.
10 / 29 (34.48%)
Aside from working on changing big plot things, I can't help but stop and polish up some sentences even though that's supposed to be saved for the next round of editing. For example, check out this rambling wreck in chapter 14:
But he doesn't’ glance my way, and I realize that if he had he probably would have killed me, too. This sentence is a nightmare complete with like 3 tense switches, some unnecessary words, and even a typo. So obviously I dealt with it right away: But he doesn't glance my way, and I realize if he did he’d probably kill me, too. I can now rest easy knowing this one sentence isn't so monstrous anymore. Now for the other two hundred something pages!
Stay tuned as I continue to edit Unveil in the next month!
It's week 5 of my summer writing goal of 233,000 words. Last week, I had a slow start but finished strong, and I managed to complete The Improbability of Forever and Paper Flowers while starting The Back of Wednesday. I'm still a little behind from the 3 weeks I was out of town/sick, but I'm going to try to make that up this week with a hefty weekly goal.
WEEKLY WORD COUNT GOAL: 35,000 words June 12:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 3,081 words
61683 / 233000 (26.47%)
I've got a long way to go before meeting my weekly goal, but it was a good start. Also started working on a schedule for my fall 2017 WIPs—I'm worried I won't have enough time to maintain consistent updates with school. We'll see!
JUNE 16:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 9,817 words Infiltration: 2,250 words {TOTAL: 12,067 words}
73750 / 233000 (31.65%)
New word count record! What a productive writing day—which is really good because I didn't write anything during the previous 3 super busy days. If I keep this up tomorrow and the day after I'll be able to meet my goal for the week, but I'm not sure if I can maintain that momentum.
I'm really excited about Unveil and think I might adjust my summer writing schedule so I finish it earlier—I need to start editing ASAP to prep it for submission to SwoonReads. I also need to finalize the outline for The Back of Wednesday. I have the detailed plot summary but haven't broken it down into chapters yet, and the lack of pacing is what's keeping me from writing more of it. Mental note for me to try and meet this week's goal: Tomorrow: Infiltration ch. 17-18; The Back of Wednesday ch. 3-4 Sunday: Infiltration ch. 19; The Back of Wednesday ch. 5-7 We'll see how this goes. June 17:
TODAY I WROTE:
Infiltration: 4,209 words
77959 / 233000 (33.46%)
It was a good day considering I was coping with a throbbing headache from spending all day glued to my computer yesterday. Edited my summer schedule to finish Unveil earlier, and started thinking about some new fall projects. I need to get back into writing The Back of Wednesday--I haven't done that at all yet this week.
June 18:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Back of Wednesday: 5,481 words Infiltration: 2,798 words {TOTAL: 8,279 words}
86238 / 233000 (37.01%)
I'm nearing the 50% mark of my goal! Super excited about that and ready to maintain my momentum from the last 3 days going into next week.
I wrote 27,326 words this week, which was shy of my goal but still a good amount. If I'd written June 13-15 I definitely would have gotten there. As always, my problem is making sure I write every day. That continues to be my goal for next week!
My summer writing goal has been a bit of a bumpy road these last few weeks! Between graduation, vacation, and a mysterious illness, I haven't had a lot of time to be writing. Now, however, I'm back and determined to still hit my 233,000 word count goal. Goals this week include finishing The Improbability of Forever and starting The Back of Wednesday. Here goes nothing!
(Note: I'm not as behind on my goal as it seems. I'd already planned to take a week off for vacation, and I've been slowly writing the other 2 weeks, although I haven't documented it on here.) WEEKLY WORD COUNT GOAL: 28,000 words
WRITING FROM LAST 3 WEEKS: 7,471 words (will be factored into meter total)
June 05:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Improbability of Forever: 3,286 words
36877 / 233000 (15.83%)
It was really hard to dive back into writing The Improbability of Forever. I'm so ready to be done with that book, so I cut an extra chapter out of the outline and I'm just trying to grin and bear the last few chapters. I can't remember the last time it's been so difficult for me to finish a book.
JUNE 06:
TODAY I WROTE:
0 words
36877 / 233000 (15.83%)
Took the day off and worked on the first chapter for The Back of Wednesday. The last IoF chapter is haunting me—I want it to be written but can't sit down to do it.
JUNE 07:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Improbability of Forever: 3,099 words Paper Flowers: 2,098 words {TOTAL: 5,197 words}
42074 / 233000 (18.06%)
Finally finished IoF, which is a major relief. Getting that book done was such a roadblock, and I feel a lot better about my future WIPs now that it's out of the way. Not that I didn't love Cody and Quinn...but it was a nightmare to write those last few chapters.
I have 1 bonus chapter for Paper Flowers to finish up and then I'll be totally done with that book! I'm working on the first BoW chapter, but I'm not sure about the vibe I'm getting from the story so far. We'll see. JUNE 08:
TODAY I WROTE:
Paper Flowers: 1,857 words
43931 / 233000 (18.85%)
I finally finished all work on Paper Flowers today. It was a bittersweet moment—I've been working on these characters since November 2015!
JUNE 10:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Back of Wednesday: 6,060 words
48134 / 233000 (20.66%)
It was a really productive day for The Back of Wednesday. I rewrote & finalized the first and second chapters and finished up the detailed plot summary. Still working on a detailed outline. Now that I have the plot for this figured out, I can go back to writing full-speed without taking so many breaks to finish books and start new ones.
Didn't write at all yesterday (not even sure why) so I didn't include an entry for that. I also have about 12,000 words to go until I hit my goal for this week and only one day left, so I'm not sure that that's going to happen unless I write 5 chapters tomorrow. Making a list for me so that I remember: Infiltration: chapters 14-17 Unveil: chapters 12-15 The Back of Wednesday: chapter 3 If I were to tackle 5 chapters for tomorrow, I'd do 2 in Unveil, 1 in BoW, and 2 in Infiltration. June 11:
TODAY I WROTE:
Infiltration: 4,223 words Unveil: 6,245 words {TOTAL: 10,468 words}
58602 / 233000 (25.15%)
What a great way to wrap up the week! I officially hit 25% of my summer goal and knocked a big chunk out of Infiltration and Unveil. I think 10,468 words is my record number of words written in one day.
I was so close to hitting my goal this week—I wrote 26,868 words instead of 28,000. I'm still proud of the work I did today, and next week I'm going to try to write every day so I make sure I don't fall short of a weekly goal by such a short margin. We'll see what week 5 brings! I've been writing for most of my life now, and I've been writing online since 2012 (that's over 5 years for those of you who want to do the math). I've made an incredible amount of progress from 2012, moving from a fictionalized blog to a few novellas on Figment to finishing up my 13th novel in just a few days and having thousands of followers on Wattpad. I've worked insanely hard since around 2013, when I started seriously promoting my writing. Nothing has come easy for me so far, but I don't plan on stopping now! I realize I've never shared with any of you my long-term goals for writing, so here they are. The best thing about goals is that they're flexible. When I first started writing, I had plans for this to only be recreational. Then, I got really excited about traditional publishing and did some work on that. I've had an educational time delving into the traditional publishing world through a variety of jobs and internships, and I've learned a lot about marketing to my strengths. What sets me apart from most writers who try to get traditionally published is my base of followers. Most people querying or attending writing conferences don't have this, so I've been thinking about the best way to use this to my advantage. With a lot of research, I've come up with the following goals: 1. Continue writing on WattpadUltimately, Wattpad is how I continue to meet amazing readers and improve my writing skills. It would be stupid to quit now, and I'm not interested in leaving. Lots more books will be coming soon, and I'm so excited to write them. 2. Branch out to RadishFor those of you who don't know, Radish is a writing community a lot like Wattpad—except I'm allowed to earn a revenue for my writing. You can check out this link to learn more about the app, but it basically exists on a "freemium" model: I'll post a chapter every week, two weeks (whatever I decide) for free, but if you want to read before the next chapters are posted, you can pay with tokens (which convert to money for me) and read all in one sitting (or two, or three). I will continue to offer content for free on Wattpad, but updates will be posted first on Radish—so if you're a Wattpad user who's itching to read the next chapter before I post it or who wants to go on and read the whole book, you can do that through Radish. Seems like the best of both worlds, right? I may also offer some sequels/spin-offs novels exclusively on Radish. We'll see. So when will this shift happen? I'm not entirely sure—I'm still doing some research on the site and then I have to apply to be a writer—but I'm hoping by winter 2017 and if not then definitely by the beginning of 2018. Stay tuned for more updates! 3. Join SwoonreadsWhile Radish will hopefully be a way for me to finance my writing and gain more of a following (it's an up-and-coming platform that I predict will compare with Wattpad one day even though it's relatively small now), it's not my end goal. This end goal has, and always will be, traditional publication. I don't ever plan on giving up my dream of picking up my novel in a bookstore and feeling it in my hands. SwoonReads is a website run by Macmillan publishers that uses an online platform to select its books for publication. Authors have had incredible success and have been heavily marketed, so I could get a book in print at most bookstores around the world—through a traditional publisher. SwoonReads is my more immediate goal right now, and I'm prepping Unveil for submission. How can you help? Once I submit my manuscript, I will be asking you all to read over to SwoonReads to read & rate. The books with the highest ratings are considered for publication! I'm foreseeing submission of Unveil in winter 2017. It should be completed in September but I'll need a few months to edit and polish it to perfection. More details coming soon! 4. Pursue Traditional PublicationWith hopefully a novel under my belt and a large following (love you guys!!), I will start looking for an agent and more traditional forms of publishing to kick off my career. My goal is to eventually have a full-time writing career, and I'm doing everything I can to get there.
Once I get to this point, I still see myself posting on Wattpad and Radish. Wattpad will receive drafts, previews, and spin-off/novellas (they'll still be completely free to read)! while I'll offer other novellas/drafts/non-publishable material on Radish. Hopefully by this point, you will all be able to read my work in bookstores. My biggest, biggest goal of all is to have a super-successful novel turned TV show, and for me to eventually start a YouTube channel highlighting my writer life/book updates in a vlog style. Who knows where this crazy journey will lead me, though? I've made it so far in the last 5 years, and this is what I have in mind for the next 5. We'll see where I am by 2022!
It's Week 1 of my summer writing goal of 233,000 words! I'm dividing this 233,000 word count goal among my novels as follows:
Paper Flowers bonus chapters: 6,000 words left
The Improbability of Forever (Kismet #2): 28,000 words left Infiltration (Ballet Blog #9): 31,000 words left Unveil (Unveil #1): 64,000 words left The Back of Wednesday: 80,000 words left Unsaid (Unveil #2): 18,000 words before beginning of school year TBD: 6,000 words before beginning of school year
I'll be chronicling my journey to reach this word count goal as best I can over the summer, divided up by week so my posts aren't too obnoxiously frequent. So here goes Week 1, May 8-14:
WEEKLY WORD COUNT GOAL: 28,000 words May 8:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 3,529 words The Improbability of Forever: 5,755 words {TOTAL: 9,284 words}
9284 / 233000 (3.98%)
It was a super successful writing day for me. I'm really eager to get IoF finished because I'm drained as a result of that book and I want to leave well enough alone with the characters. Still, I have nine chapters left and I don't want to disappoint the people reading it, so I'm plowing through :)
I'm way more excited about Unveil, which I'm thinking about entering into SwoonReads for publication once I've written and edited it. We'll see! May 9:
TODAY I WROTE:
nothing :((
9284 / 233000 (3.98%)
Today was my last day of exams & classes, so I had a lot of other things on my mind besides writing. However, I did manage to tweak and finalize my outline for Unveil, and I'm even more excited than before about how the plot plays out. Goal for tomorrow: 1 chapter in Unveil and Infiltration, 2 chapters in The Improbability of Forever, and the 100% finalized outline for Infiltration. It's a lofty goal, but I officially don't have school anymore and I now have the whole day free.
May 10:
TODAY I WROTE:
Unveil: 3,181 words The Improbability of Forever: 3,271 words {TOTAL: 6,452 words}
15736 / 233000 (6.75%)
I didn't quite reach my huge goal from yesterday, but that's okay! I still managed to get some writing done, and it was fun to try out new writing locations (I went to my local bookstore and tried writing there for a change—I usually write in my bedroom.)
Tomorrow's going to be a very busy non-writing day, but I'd still like to get an Infiltration and an Improbability of Forever chapter done. That will leave me with 3 chapters to go for Friday-Sunday, plus the outline for The Back of Wednesday. Sounds doable! May 11:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Improbability of Forever: 3,121 words Infiltration: 2,051 words {TOTAL: 5,172 words}
20908 / 233000 (8.97%)
I met my writing goal for today! Instead of working on the outline for The Back of Wednesday, I decided to work on the more urgent outline, which was for Infiltration. I also tweaked the Improbability of Forever outline and deleted a chapter, so my new word count goal for the week is 25,000 words since there's 1 less chapter to write. I'm anticipating meeting that goal by the end of Saturday but we'll see!
Went back to my local bookstore and knocked out both chapters in under 2 hours. Since there's no WiFi there, it's a really convenient spot to sit and write without distraction and with plenty of inspiration. May 12:
TODAY I WROTE:
Infiltration: 902 words
21810 / 233000 (9.36%)
Today wasn't my most productive writing day, but I'm proud that I sat down and still wrote a little. Infiltration is going well, but I'd like to eventually revamp the whole series and make it a middle grade series instead of borderline YA.
Good news is I'm still on track to meet my writing goal for the week! MAY 13:
TODAY I WROTE:
0 words
21810 / 233000 (9.36%)
I'm not too happy that I have 2 days this week where I didn't write anything, but it's okay. It's been a super busy week for me (and next week will be even busier) life-wise, so I'm not going to stress myself out over writing. As long as I write 2 chapters tomorrow, I'll still be on track to meet my revised goal (25,000 words).
May 14:
TODAY I WROTE:
The Improbability of Forever: 3,020 words Infiltration: 1,290 words {TOTAL: 4,310 words}
26120 / 233000 (11.21%)
I met my goal for the week, which feels pretty great! I'm completely fine with adjusting that goal midweek—my writing is flexible, and as my outline changes my goal should adjust, too. I still haven't changed my summer-wide goal to reflect that shift, but hopefully I won't have to and I'll write the full 233,000 words anyway.
On to week 2! |
