I’m back, and I’m still a Rockstar

This has been a really difficult month, as far as stress and time go. But this past THursday, I had my last class. I turned in the files for my portfolio, and I’m done. Graduated. Hello, graphic design degree.

It’s been a crazy ride, and in the middle of it, I’ve been trying to get the Christmas book written and edited and ready to go to alpha readers.

Yeah, I failed miserably on that.

So, after classes and stuff all week, I took Friday and Saturday off from any obligations and just rested. Sunday, I tackled the new design website, and got that mostly presentable. Today, I got back to work on Heart and Snow. I redrafted the plot points, and I went back through what I wrote and figured out what needed to stay and what needed to go for the new plot. Thankfully, I’m keeping most of it, and reworking small parts of it.

I think I finally figured out what was killing me about this book. The words have been flowing nicely today and I’m suddenly excited about writing it again.

I check in on my goals once a month, reevaluate, and tweak if needed. I have a theme song for the year, and I realize that it’s still very much an accurate theme song for me. So I’m sharing it above, because P!nk is awesome.
