I'm feeling a bit anxious about NaNoWriMo and all that's to come. It's like not enough time before November, and I don't know if I'll get anything done. But I guess I'll just focus on getting chapter 25 done now, and then we'll see what happens next.

I feel so tired and a bit sick, but weirdly sick - I'm not even sure what's wrong with me. I just need to finish this and then go to bed. It's Saturday morning, and I look like I've been up for ages. I'm really angry with myself because I had all the time in the world to get some work done, but I ended up wasting it on social media instead of working on my writing.

I do have a lot to update you guys about now that November is finally here. You're getting a vlog this week, even though we weren't supposed to have one. I'm going to try my hardest to do them for NaNoWriMo - fingers crossed it will work out and I'll be able to get my words in while still doing the vlogs. But no guarantees - we'll just have to wait and see.

On Saturday, I went to the movies with Angela, and it was absolutely incredible. The movie was called "The Hate U Give", and it's by far one of the best movies I've ever seen. It was so powerful and magical that everyone needs to go and see it - it's truly a must-see film. Andrew Thomas's cameo was beautiful, but I'm not even kidding when I say that this movie moved me to tears. I'm not usually a huge movie person, but this one really spoke to me.

I also finished reading some books over the weekend - "Escaping from Houdini" by Karen Maniscalco, which gave me a 4.5 out of 5 stars, and "Neverworld Wake" by Marina Pestle, which I gave a 3.5 out of 5 stars to. The most exciting thing is that I've finally finished my revisions on book one - it's been a long process, but I'm so proud of myself for getting it done.

I have to admit, I was really emotional when I talked about finishing my revisions last night - it just feels like a fairytale that this could be where I got as far as I did. It's also terrifying because there's always the chance that I won't get any further than this point, but I really think that this is a beautiful story and I'm so excited for you guys to read it one day.

When I initially wrote "Book of Sisters", I couldn't stop until I was done - and that's exactly what happened when I started revising. I spent the entire weekend editing - on Saturday, I did four and a half chapters, and on Sunday, I finished six or seven. It was a bit too much to handle, but it was worth it in the end.

Now that I've finally finished my revisions, I'm going to start planning out NaNoWriMo - something for my first NaNoWriMo vlog.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello good morning and welcome to a new breeding vlog I look like crap because I feel like absolute crap I kind of felt like a cold was coming on for the past few days and today I woke up and it is definitely here I feel a lot better now than I did when I like very first woke up but I still feel pretty crappy so that kind of sucks but we are on the last like one and a half weeks of October and I didn't do very well for my goal setting for last week so I sent myself a lot smaller goals so then hopefully I will actually be able to get things done last week just wasn't a really great week so I'm hoping to turn that around this week but the fact that I'm waking up sick is not going to help that and the fact that I still need to edit last couple of weeks whatever the last reading vlog that's not helping because that's going to take me a long time so I'm going to be pretty behind on everything that I have to do which sucks so much but I honestly might just like take my time with editing it doing a little bit today and then a little bit tomorrow and hopefully be able to get it up tomorrow I don't really know but I'll show you guys what I'm hoping to accomplish this week so as far as YouTube goals I would just like to get my Halloween videos done I'm actually going to be behind because I had been hoping to film one today but that's obviously not going to happen because I'm not feeling very well at all so I'm going to try and film it tomorrow so it can go up on Wednesday hi Lucy she does not care I also need to finish I have a bunch of videos pre filmed for November so I'd like to finish editing those and have those scheduled because then I think I only have like two more videos to do for November which is really awesome and then if Lucy would move we would be able to see but she's not going to hi Lucy I know but my breeding goals I just want to finish one book which I definitely should be able to do because right now I'm listening to the audiobook for escaping from Houdini by Carrie Maniscalco and I'm almost done it and I'm really enjoying it like it's so good so that is awesome and then writing goals this is obviously the big thing so in my schedule I actually have let me see where are we here we are so I have my revisions up to chapter 29 but I haven't been able to accomplish my revision goals for the past few days which really really sucks so actually not even the past few days the past few weeks I've been so so bad about it so I'm just putting my goal as getting to chapter 25 so if I get to chapter 25 I'll be really really happy if I get further than that I'll be absolutely thrilled and then I want to work on my NaNoWriMo outline for my European travel contemporary project so that is something that I'm going to try and do because I'm going to try and do a low-key version of NaNoWriMo which will actually be starting in this blog that's crazy but I'm not going to put a lot of pressure on myself for NaNoWriMo just because November's a really busy month and things haven't really been going in my favor recently I just have been struggling to get myself motivated with revisions which really sucks because I would like to get them done so I might do half of the month with like writing something new half of it with revising I don't really know but I definitely know by the end of November I want to be querying agents so I just need to stop procrastinating and I don't know why I just can't it's really annoying and I feel so lame like constantly complaining about it so I just need to get that stuff done like if I get to chapter 25 at the end of this week then I'll have 10 chapters left so I should be able to if I get two chapters done which I actually like somedays have really been doing that but if I get at least one chapter done a day then in 10 days I'll be done my first round of revision so then I just have to go back and kind of make sure that everything's perfected and then I can go into querying agents like I just I need to stop because I'm making the process so much longer and so much harder than it needs to be but it's like a never-ending battle with myself so this week I'm really going to try and minimize my distractions as much as possible that's why I only have my goal as reading one book even though I would like to read way more than that but I need to get focused on my writing and YouTube I just have a few things to do so I only have like a major filming day and next week so I really should be able to get a lot of revisions done and that's the goal because every video other than my Halloween video that I have to go up on Wednesday it's filmed edited scheduled I just need to do the description and that's it so there are no more excuses I need to kick my button to gear so the next one today I can do my Halloween 24 hour readathon and not worry about things so I don't know I guess we'll see how this week goes so I edited my vlog as you guys saw and it is now uploading I just haven't been feeling the vlogs lately and I feel like it's because when I do put them up I mean one this one the last one that I did I was really excited about but this one I haven't been editing as the week went on so I literally waited until the day it had to go up and then it just becomes this whole huge thing but I feel like the vlogs aren't really getting the views that they used to get which like obviously it's not all about the views but like vlogs aren't my absolute favorite to film they are in some ways but they're really not in others so I've honestly kind of been considering going to not weekly vlogs I know that now they're bi-weekly but like literally just doing a vlog when I feel like doing a vlog so like maybe I'm doing a read-a-thon maybe I have something exciting going on like whatever I've kind of been considering doing that instead of like a consistent vlog thing I really don't know i mean viewers have just been down across booktube but it's just been my vlogs just haven't been doing as well as they used to and I don't really know why because it wasn't even when I changed to biweekly it was just all of a sudden so I don't know I guess we'll see maybe I'm just being whiny because I'm sick but my camera's gonna die so I'm gonna go and have a shower I'm officially halfway done my revisions yay good morning friends this is absolutely terrible lighting because the only thing that is lighting me right now is my computer and it's coming from like below me so it's giving me a nice look but today is Tuesday I worked late last night by well I was at work I ended up finishing listening to escaping from Houdini by Carrie Maniscalco and I have a lot of feelings about it mixed feelings I was loving it while I was listening to it and then it got kind of repetitive I found that the sort of murder-mystery aspect of it was kind of a little bit predictable so in a way it did break convention from the usual for the series and I don't really know how I felt about that because like Thomas Cresswell is my entire life I love him so much and he kind of reminds me of Maddox I'm at my own book and I don't know if that's just because I want him to or not but either way I'm really happy with it but there were a lot of things that happened with the relationship in this book guy like I was basically just really angry reading escaping from Houdini I was just really mad and frustrated with everything that was happening but the ending I was like like the ending had a lot of reactions from me so I'm kind of torn um where to read it it's definitely not my favorite of the series I think that would go to hunting Prince Dracula but I'm not entirely sure a knight but listening to it I was just like reminded of how much I loved the series and how much I loved the audiobook specifically they are really really awesome but I thought like the setting and some of the concept was really cool it was judge I had some problems with it so I guess I would give it like a 4 out of 5 stars I don't know I don't have to tell you until the end of the vlog so yes I still don't know what I'm going to do for my vlogs I'm feeling a little bit more like I do want to continue them but I'm also still kind of torn on that but like you saw I'm halfway through my revision so I just finished chapter 18 and I have 36 chapters to go so I ended up revising two chapters yesterday I did basically everything that I wanted to do yesterday except I missed one of the chapters that I wanted to do but that was fine that was like a really lofty goal that I knew I wasn't going to be able to get to and then I also didn't do my nano outline so today I'm actually about you going get ready and do some filming and then some editing and then revisions will be my focus I don't actually work tonight but I do have book March tonight so it is still a really busy day and then after that if I can all try to get to my nano outline but I don't even know if I'm going to be able to finish everything that I have on my plate right now so I guess we'll see you but I'm feeling a little bit better cold wise I woke up with a headache again which just seems to happen but as far as audiobooks go I'm going to be moving on to never world wake which I tried reading last week or listening to but I kind of got distracted so I didn't really retain any of the audiobook so I'm going to listen to it again and then hopefully this time I will actually like know what's going on so that's what's up today so far yeah so I'm really happy because I got more done than I had wanted to a video wise haven't done any writing yet so that's gonna be a challenge because of book Mart tonight but I'm gonna try and kind of kick my butt into gear and still get the chapters that I'd wanted to get done done so hopefully that will end up working out but I do have to clean up from the one video because actually it will be out by the time you see this vlog so my halloween costume video I have stuff all over the place but it was really fun it turned out like kind of how I wanted it to I'm not very crafty so like it was really just a crappy version of what I wanted it to be but I still thought it was a really fun sort of spoofy video that I did but now I'm going to work on kind of planning out my schedule for the rest of the week accounting for the fact that I have the one video done early and then I'm going to do some writing because I need to do revisions and my nano outline is my goal for tomorrow so if I can get my revisions done today not like done but the revisions that I need to get done today done then I'll be good hello happy Wednesday I keep on thinking today's Tuesday for some reason but yesterday was Tuesday because we had it bookmarked light I am just getting ready to chop up some veggies because we're going to be making some soup tonight so tada soup it is Kremlin creamy broccoli cheddar soup so I'm gonna be making that today so I've already started chopping the onions my nose is running because of that you got some broccoli here celery have some hot chocolate I'm gonna have to chop some potatoes as well but yeah I think this looks a delicious but this morning I have already been pretty busy it is 2:30 p.m. I've really been struggling with my sleep schedule recently so I kind of need to get that all sorted out but this morning I had a meeting with the rest of the girls a bookmark we just talked about what we have planned for the next few months actually and we have some stuff coming up that I'm really excited about so we got all of that sorted out and that's gonna be lots of fun but now I need to chop up some veggies so I'm gonna listen to never world wake while I'm doing that I'm really liking it like the world is so cool and I feel like I'm listening to it for the first time which is so weird but it's really good so far so hopefully I will continue to enjoy it hello everyone in happy Thursday so I did get out kind of late today but I wasted no time getting it to work on book of sisters because I'm determined to get caught up on my revisions I'm more than halfway done now and I'm almost done chapter 21 I did chapter 20 yesterday but I am still like three or four chapters behind by I surpassed 100,000 words which is nuts like that's just absolutely wild to me and I'm so excited about it and the fact that I'm more than halfway done and I'm just like I can't there's so much more romance in this book that I initially realized but I also like really loved the romance it's just really funny because that's not generally what I read but I think you guys are gonna really like this book and I'm just getting really excited about it now so I need to go and finish my edits for chapter 21 and then hopefully I'll do 22 and 23 today as well those are my top priorities I'm just gonna try and do revisions today everything else I'll worry about at a later date but if I can get more stuff done today than that'd be awesome but revisions are my main focus so let's go and do some revisions so I'm gonna get back into my revisions now and my plan is I'm probably right now going to set the timer for LA I don't know how much I have left for this chapter let me see I only have a little bit left for the chapter so I'll probably set it to like 20 minutes and then when I'm done this chapter I'm going to set a timer for an hour I'm not sitting on my phone because I don't want my phone near me because I'll get distracted so I'm going to set the timer for an hour I have this Google Chrome extension it's called stay focused and with that I can block websites that like Twitter like stuff like that so essentially what I've done is I only have certain websites allowed in there oh man it like the Saurus because I can't think of words ahead of time and it's just a timer website and then a couple of different writing websites so those are the only things that I have available to me well I'm writing I actually might add Pinterest there because sometimes I do like to go to Pinterest for some inspiration so I'm gonna try doing that and see if that becomes a distraction that'll remove it but what I'm going to do is have these sites blocked for an hour set my timer for an hour and I am going to see if I can revise a chapter within an hour because I've done it before so maybe setting a timer we'll kind of kick my butt into gear because last time I did it was like before anyone was coming home so I did kind of have like a deadline so it might work out it might not but it might work out so I'm gonna try doing that now it's three o'clock and I really haven't been feeling not well today I kind of have a cold going on it's like a mild cold but I finished a revising three chapters today I'm so excited I have never done three in a day the most I've been able to get done is to so it's really awesome I was able to dedicate myself entirely to it today so I'm hoping that if I can do that for the next like week or so that I might actually be able to finish my revisions hello finish my revisions before NaNoWriMo which would be so cool now obviously that's like a really big dream like that would mean that I would have to do 3 I don't know I'd have to do a lot I'd have to figure out the schedule for that but I'm really excited I'm not gonna lie I think that it turned out really well chapter 23 so I did chapter 21 22 and 23 tonight in chapter 23 I had to do an entire rewrite of but I still was able to do it and I did it really quickly so this has been a really big day for a book of sisters and I'm super excited about it now I have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 chapters left and I have 1 2 3 4 5 6 days in total a no rhyme oh I can't do math right now but I'm gonna figure it out and see like what I can do I'm actually gonna start chapter 24 right now hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit of that done and then I'll be like ahead of the game and I'll be able to complete my writing goal for this week of revising up to chapter 25 which is so exciting so I can't wait I just I'm really happy so I actually finished my revisions on chapter 24 but I don't know if they're actually done because I think that I might have to change that entire chapter as well just because of the rewrite I did for a chapter 23 so I'm just having a couple of my betas read it and then they'll let me know if they think it makes sense now but I really do think I'm gonna need to change it so I'm going to save that for tomorrow but now I'm moving on to outlining my contemporary slash you know no Rimel project so I have printed out a map of Europe because it is a European backpacking novel and I need to figure out where the characters are gonna go because I obviously have quite a few places in mind of like places that I've been because I want to write like places that I know because I've been there I'm obviously also going to research them a little bit further so I'd really like to find out where they're going so then I can do that research over the weekend so I need to narrow it down which is gonna be really difficult but I think I'm gonna have to take out like one of my favorite places that I won I don't know but I need to figure out where they're going so then I can figure out what's happening in between so I'm gonna do that yeah so I mapped out the Europe trip and I still don't know what locations I'm gonna do though because I still have a lot of them but I also went back to chapter 24 and ended up rewriting it so I did end up finishing four chapters I'm still not 100% sure if that's how it's going to end up being um I have the shakes right now because I think I might be coming down with a bit of a case of the flu which is really not good timing it's very ill-timed but I'm I kind of feel like crap and a little bit loopy right now but I'm actually about to head to work until 1:30 in the morning so that's my light but I'm going to get ready and had to work to put out some books and stuff and hopefully my shakes will stop hello so it's Friday night I look like crap and I gotta feel like crap too I slept in until 11:00 in the morning today so I slept in later than I had wanted to but it also took me a really long time to fall asleep last night so that is why I also realized I never told you but I finished a book two days ago so I finished never world wake bi-racial pestle I was listening to the audiobook for this and it was really interesting a very interesting world and concept definitely a great Halloween read so I gave it 4 out of 5 stars and now I have moved on to before the devil breaks you I live a Bray which I'm hoping I will be able to finish before Halloween and then I've got a bunch of books that I want to read on Halloween day I said that weird but it's fine well just pretend that didn't happen but as far as my revisions go I ended up like I said getting up late and then I went to a friend's today and then I had a baby shower so I had a really busy day today and I didn't end up getting my revisions done so it is 9:45 right now so it's almost 10:00 so I'm almost done with chapter 25 revisions and today I'd wanted to get chapter 25 26 and 27 done so I'm going to try and get at least chapter 25 done before bed maybe part of chapter 26 and then I'll work on it tomorrow I'll try getting caught up because I really want to stick to my schedule it was just today was a really busy day so I knew it wasn't going to happen but tomorrow I'm going to be home alone for like the whole day so I should be able to get a lot of stuff done but I am feeling really tired right now but I want to push through because this weekend I also want to be able to plan out my contemporary a little bit more so it's gonna be a busy time there's just like not enough time before November not enough time for really anything so I'm just gonna focus on getting chapter 25 done now and then I guess we'll see I don't know I feel so tired and I feel really sick but like weirdly sick I don't know I'm just gonna finish this and then go to bed good morning it's Saturday I look like I'm dying it's 11 a.m. and I just woke up I'm really really mad at myself because it's gonna be home alone all morning so I had a lot of opportunities to get a lot of stuff done but ang and I believe I get until 11:00 and now I'm going to the movies so this will be an interesting day I'm really angry Mo's are really tired the worst part about so I had been about to say but the worst part about it was that my camera battery was gonna die and it died so that was very apropos but it is actually Monday today and I have a lot to update you guys about so first of all you're getting a vlog this week even though you weren't supposed to because I'm going to be doing weekly vlogs for NaNoWriMo I'm going to try my hardest to do them fingers crossed it will work out and I'll be able to get my words in and still do the vlogs but no guarantees but I'm gonna try also on that Saturday the movie I went to go and see was the hate you give and it was absolutely incredible and magical and literally everyone needs to go and see this movie I think it is by far like the best movie that I have ever seen it was the most powerful movie I have ever seen it was so good I'm not a huge movie person but like I was so moved by it I couldn't even talk about it after without crying it was just so well done Andrew Thomas's cameo was beautiful is just if you are thinking about going to see it and you weren't sure just go and see it because it was absolutely amazing the next thing that I want to talk about so usually this is when I'll wrap up my reading for the week so yeah I read some stuff I write escaping from Houdini by Karen Maniscalco and it gave that a 4.5 out of 5 stars actually that was really interesting because a lot of your comments on my Instagram post about it really opened my eyes to some of the issues I had with it so think it might be closer to a four out of five stars I'm not really sure then I also finished reading it never world wake by marina pestle which I gave like a 3.5 out of 5 stars I don't even know but but but the most important thing I finish my revisions oh my god I can't believe it I was really emotional when I was talking about it last night because like I just can't believe that I'm done it and I'm now ready to move on to the next step of finding an agent and possibly finding a publisher like it still just feels like fairytale and like it's not real obviously it's also terrifying because there's a chance that like this could be as far as I got it could not move on to the next step but I really think that this is a beautiful story I love it a lot and I hope that you guys get to read it one day and meet the characters ever you think I'm so excited so yeah that's really exciting I ended up yesterday so when I get to the end of a project I can't stop until I'm done and that's exactly what happened when I initially wrote book of sisters and it is also what happened with the revision so I ended up editing I think like ten chapters over the weekend the one day on Saturday I think I ended up doing four and a half chapters and then yesterday Sunday I did like six or seven so I just was booking it I was like I need to finish it I'm so close so I did nothing but revise that was literally all that I did all weekend so now I have finished it in time for NaNoWriMo so today I'm going to be planning out NaNoWriMo but that is something for my first NaNoWriMo vlog so go and watch that I look like I have been through the wringer because revisions killed me but they are done and I'm so excited so I hope that you guys will enjoy my NaNoWriMo weekly vlogs definitely check those out and I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog which is way longer than I expected and features a lot of like spread out parts but I hope that you still like it so I will see you guys next week for NaNoWriMohello good morning and welcome to a new breeding vlog I look like crap because I feel like absolute crap I kind of felt like a cold was coming on for the past few days and

well I was at work I ended up finishing listening to escaping from Houdini by Carrie Maniscalco and I have a lot of feelings about it mixed feelings I was loving it while I was listening to it and then it got kind of repetitive I found that the sort of murder-mystery aspect of it was kind of a little bit predictable so in a way it did break convention from the usual for the series and I don't really know how I felt about that because like Thomas Cresswell is my entire life I love him so much and he kind of reminds me of Maddox I'm at my own book and I don't know if that's just because I want him to or not but either way I'm really happy with it but there were a lot of things that happened with the relationship in this book guy like I was basically just really angry reading escaping from Houdini I was just really mad and frustrated with everything that was happening but the ending I was like like the ending had a lot of reactions from me so I'm kind of torn um where to read it it's definitely not my favorite of the series I think that would go to hunting Prince Dracula but I'm not entirely sure a knight but listening to it I was just like reminded of how much I loved the series and how much I loved the audiobook specifically they are really really awesome but I thought like the setting and some of the concept was really cool it was judge I had some problems with it so I guess I would give it like a 4 out of 5 stars I don't know I don't have to tell you until the end of the vlog so yes I still don't know what I'm going to do for my vlogs I'm feeling a little bit more like I do want to continue them but I'm also still kind of torn on that but like you saw I'm halfway through my revision so I just finished chapter 18 and I have 36 chapters to go so I ended up revising two chapters yesterday I did basically everything that I wanted to do yesterday except I missed one of the chapters that I wanted to do but that was fine that was like a really lofty goal that I knew I wasn't going to be able to get to and then I also didn't do my nano outline so today I'm actually about you going get ready and do some filming and then some editing and then revisions will be my focus I don't actually work tonight but I do have book March tonight so it is still a really busy day and then after that if I can all try to get to my nano outline but I don't even know if I'm going to be able to finish everything that I have on my plate right now so I guess we'll see you but I'm feeling a little bit better cold wise I woke up with a headache again which just seems to happen but as far as audiobooks go I'm going to be moving on to never world wake which I tried reading last week or listening to but I kind of got distracted so I didn't really retain any of the audiobook so I'm going to listen to it again and then hopefully this time I will actually like know what's going on so that's what's up today so far yeah so I'm really happy because I got more done than I had wanted to a video wise haven't done any writing yet so that's gonna be a challenge because of book Mart tonight but I'm gonna try and kind of kick my butt into gear and still get the chapters that I'd wanted to get done done so hopefully that will end up working out but I do have to clean up from the one video because actually it will be out by the time you see this vlog so my halloween costume video I have stuff all over the place but it was really fun it turned out like kind of how I wanted it to I'm not very crafty so like it was really just a crappy version of what I wanted it to be but I still thought it was a really fun sort of spoofy video that I did but now I'm going to work on kind of planning out my schedule for the rest of the week accounting for the fact that I have the one video done early and then I'm going to do some writing because I need to do revisions and my nano outline is my goal for tomorrow so if I can get my revisions done today not like done but the revisions that I need to get done today done then I'll be good hello happy Wednesday I keep on thinking today's Tuesday for some reason but yesterday was Tuesday because we had it bookmarked light I am just getting ready to chop up some veggies because we're going to be making some soup tonight so tada soup it is Kremlin creamy broccoli cheddar soup so I'm gonna be making that today so I've already started chopping the onions my nose is running because of that you got some broccoli here celery have some hot chocolate I'm gonna have to chop some potatoes as well but yeah I think this looks a delicious but this morning I have already been pretty busy it is 2:30 p.m. I've really been struggling with my sleep schedule recently so I kind of need to get that all sorted out but this morning I had a meeting with the rest of the girls a bookmark we just talked about what we have planned for the next few months actually and we have some stuff coming up that I'm really excited about so we got all of that sorted out and that's gonna be lots of fun but now I need to chop up some veggies so I'm gonna listen to never world wake while I'm doing that I'm really liking it like the world is so cool and I feel like I'm listening to it for the first time which is so weird but it's really good so far so hopefully I will continue to enjoy it hello everyone in happy Thursday so I did get out kind of late today but I wasted no time getting it to work on book of sisters because I'm determined to get caught up on my revisions I'm more than halfway done now and I'm almost done chapter 21 I did chapter 20 yesterday but I am still like three or four chapters behind by I surpassed 100,000 words which is nuts like that's just absolutely wild to me and I'm so excited about it and the fact that I'm more than halfway done and I'm just like I can't there's so much more romance in this book that I initially realized but I also like really loved the romance it's just really funny because that's not generally what I read but I think you guys are gonna really like this book and I'm just getting really excited about it now so I need to go and finish my edits for chapter 21 and then hopefully I'll do 22 and 23 today as well those are my top priorities I'm just gonna try and do revisions today everything else I'll worry about at a later date but if I can get more stuff done today than that'd be awesome but revisions are my main focus so let's go and do some revisions so I'm gonna get back into my revisions now and my plan is I'm probably right now going to set the timer for LA I don't know how much I have left for this chapter let me see I only have a little bit left for the chapter so I'll probably set it to like 20 minutes and then when I'm done this chapter I'm going to set a timer for an hour I'm not sitting on my phone because I don't want my phone near me because I'll get distracted so I'm going to set the timer for an hour I have this Google Chrome extension it's called stay focused and with that I can block websites that like Twitter like stuff like that so essentially what I've done is I only have certain websites allowed in there oh man it like the Saurus because I can't think of words ahead of time and it's just a timer website and then a couple of different writing websites so those are the only things that I have available to me well I'm writing I actually might add Pinterest there because sometimes I do like to go to Pinterest for some inspiration so I'm gonna try doing that and see if that becomes a distraction that'll remove it but what I'm going to do is have these sites blocked for an hour set my timer for an hour and I am going to see if I can revise a chapter within an hour because I've done it before so maybe setting a timer we'll kind of kick my butt into gear because last time I did it was like before anyone was coming home so I did kind of have like a deadline so it might work out it might not but it might work out so I'm gonna try doing that now it's three o'clock and I really haven't been feeling not well today I kind of have a cold going on it's like a mild cold but I finished a revising three chapters today I'm so excited I have never done three in a day the most I've been able to get done is to so it's really awesome I was able to dedicate myself entirely to it today so I'm hoping that if I can do that for the next like week or so that I might actually be able to finish my revisions hello finish my revisions before NaNoWriMo which would be so cool now obviously that's like a really big dream like that would mean that I would have to do 3 I don't know I'd have to do a lot I'd have to figure out the schedule for that but I'm really excited I'm not gonna lie I think that it turned out really well chapter 23 so I did chapter 21 22 and 23 tonight in chapter 23 I had to do an entire rewrite of but I still was able to do it and I did it really quickly so this has been a really big day for a book of sisters and I'm super excited about it now I have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 chapters left and I have 1 2 3 4 5 6 days in total a no rhyme oh I can't do math right now but I'm gonna figure it out and see like what I can do I'm actually gonna start chapter 24 right now hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit of that done and then I'll be like ahead of the game and I'll be able to complete my writing goal for this week of revising up to chapter 25 which is so exciting so I can't wait I just I'm really happy so I actually finished my revisions on chapter 24 but I don't know if they're actually done because I think that I might have to change that entire chapter as well just because of the rewrite I did for a chapter 23 so I'm just having a couple of my betas read it and then they'll let me know if they think it makes sense now but I really do think I'm gonna need to change it so I'm going to save that for tomorrow but now I'm moving on to outlining my contemporary slash you know no Rimel project so I have printed out a map of Europe because it is a European backpacking novel and I need to figure out where the characters are gonna go because I obviously have quite a few places in mind of like places that I've been because I want to write like places that I know because I've been there I'm obviously also going to research them a little bit further so I'd really like to find out where they're going so then I can do that research over the weekend so I need to narrow it down which is gonna be really difficult but I think I'm gonna have to take out like one of my favorite places that I won I don't know but I need to figure out where they're going so then I can figure out what's happening in between so I'm gonna do that yeah so I mapped out the Europe trip and I still don't know what locations I'm gonna do though because I still have a lot of them but I also went back to chapter 24 and ended up rewriting it so I did end up finishing four chapters I'm still not 100% sure if that's how it's going to end up being um I have the shakes right now because I think I might be coming down with a bit of a case of the flu which is really not good timing it's very ill-timed but I'm I kind of feel like crap and a little bit loopy right now but I'm actually about to head to work until 1:30 in the morning so that's my light but I'm going to get ready and had to work to put out some books and stuff and hopefully my shakes will stop hello so it's Friday night I look like crap and I gotta feel like crap too I slept in until 11:00 in the morning today so I slept in later than I had wanted to but it also took me a really long time to fall asleep last night so that is why I also realized I never told you but I finished a book two days ago so I finished never world wake bi-racial pestle I was listening to the audiobook for this and it was really interesting a very interesting world and concept definitely a great Halloween read so I gave it 4 out of 5 stars and now I have moved on to before the devil breaks you I live a Bray which I'm hoping I will be able to finish before Halloween and then I've got a bunch of books that I want to read on Halloween day I said that weird but it's fine well just pretend that didn't happen but as far as my revisions go I ended up like I said getting up late and then I went to a friend's today and then I had a baby shower so I had a really busy day today and I didn't end up getting my revisions done so it is 9:45 right now so it's almost 10:00 so I'm almost done with chapter 25 revisions and today I'd wanted to get chapter 25 26 and 27 done so I'm going to try and get at least chapter 25 done before bed maybe part of chapter 26 and then I'll work on it tomorrow I'll try getting caught up because I really want to stick to my schedule it was just today was a really busy day so I knew it wasn't going to happen but tomorrow I'm going to be home alone for like the whole day so I should be able to get a lot of stuff done but I am feeling really tired right now but I want to push through because this weekend I also want to be able to plan out my contemporary a little bit more so it's gonna be a busy time there's just like not enough time before November not enough time for really anything so I'm just gonna focus on getting chapter 25 done now and then I guess we'll see I don't know I feel so tired and I feel really sick but like weirdly sick I don't know I'm just gonna finish this and then go to bed good morning it's Saturday I look like I'm dying it's 11 a.m. and I just woke up I'm really really mad at myself because it's gonna be home alone all morning so I had a lot of opportunities to get a lot of stuff done but ang and I believe I get until 11:00 and now I'm going to the movies so this will be an interesting day I'm really angry Mo's are really tired the worst part about so I had been about to say but the worst part about it was that my camera battery was gonna die and it died so that was very apropos but it is actually Monday today and I have a lot to update you guys about so first of all you're getting a vlog this week even though you weren't supposed to because I'm going to be doing weekly vlogs for NaNoWriMo I'm going to try my hardest to do them fingers crossed it will work out and I'll be able to get my words in and still do the vlogs but no guarantees but I'm gonna try also on that Saturday the movie I went to go and see was the hate you give and it was absolutely incredible and magical and literally everyone needs to go and see this movie I think it is by far like the best movie that I have ever seen it was the most powerful movie I have ever seen it was so good I'm not a huge movie person but like I was so moved by it I couldn't even talk about it after without crying it was just so well done Andrew Thomas's cameo was beautiful is just if you are thinking about going to see it and you weren't sure just go and see it because it was absolutely amazing the next thing that I want to talk about so usually this is when I'll wrap up my reading for the week so yeah I read some stuff I write escaping from Houdini by Karen Maniscalco and it gave that a 4.5 out of 5 stars actually that was really interesting because a lot of your comments on my Instagram post about it really opened my eyes to some of the issues I had with it so think it might be closer to a four out of five stars I'm not really sure then I also finished reading it never world wake by marina pestle which I gave like a 3.5 out of 5 stars I don't even know but but but the most important thing I finish my revisions oh my god I can't believe it I was really emotional when I was talking about it last night because like I just can't believe that I'm done it and I'm now ready to move on to the next step of finding an agent and possibly finding a publisher like it still just feels like fairytale and like it's not real obviously it's also terrifying because there's a chance that like this could be as far as I got it could not move on to the next step but I really think that this is a beautiful story I love it a lot and I hope that you guys get to read it one day and meet the characters ever you think I'm so excited so yeah that's really exciting I ended up yesterday so when I get to the end of a project I can't stop until I'm done and that's exactly what happened when I initially wrote book of sisters and it is also what happened with the revision so I ended up editing I think like ten chapters over the weekend the one day on Saturday I think I ended up doing four and a half chapters and then yesterday Sunday I did like six or seven so I just was booking it I was like I need to finish it I'm so close so I did nothing but revise that was literally all that I did all weekend so now I have finished it in time for NaNoWriMo so today I'm going to be planning out NaNoWriMo but that is something for my first NaNoWriMo vlog so go and watch that I look like I have been through the wringer because revisions killed me but they are done and I'm so excited so I hope that you guys will enjoy my NaNoWriMo weekly vlogs definitely check those out and I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog which is way longer than I expected and features a lot of like spread out parts but I hope that you still like it so I will see you guys next week for NaNoWriMo\n"
