I did things! Like update my website and write some prequel
stuff and umm, no, nothing I actually intended to do today. Sigh.
I’m finding it really tough to transition into
working on Junk Squad when Broken Hearts is still at the forefront of my mind.
I keep thinking about the cover and release date and worrying about how
everyone in the world is going to hate it and declare me the worst writer of
all time. *deep breath*
Maybe I should learn from this and not try to work on a
different project while getting ready to release something else? Nah. I just
need a clever trick to refocus my attention. And to make me stop fiddling with
changing stupid last minute things in Broken Hearts.
Maybe I’ll ban myself from opening the Broken Hearts file
until the copyeditor hopefully gets back to me and I can fix up my mistakes.
Maybe I’ll invest in electro shock therapy.
Changing playlists might help, slightly. But what I really
need to do is reprogram my brain until everything reminds me of parts of Junk
Squad instead of Broken Hearts, and the best way to do that, I suppose, is to
write more Junk Squad.
Why does everything always come down to just doing more
writing? Geez, you’d think I’m a writer or something.
Anyway, in a couple weeks now it’ll be thoroughly and truly
done with Broken Hearts. I will toss my hands up and be rid of the whole mess.
So I suppose the trick to eating five pies while juggling a
monkey is to know that it’s only a temporary situation, so you just need to do
as much as you can while you get through. Or at least tell yourself it’s a
temporary situation, even though you suspect there’s a herd of monkeys waiting
to be juggled when this one is done.
