But Vlad is getting me through it, one day at a time. Ninth Grade Sucks is certainly a bigger challenge for me than Eighth Grade Bites was.
Two words: Drudge explanation.
Yeah, I know most of you don’t understand…yet. But after you read EGB, you’ll groan and nod your head, and deeply sympathize with my (and Vlad’s) plight.
Just wait. You will.
Yesterday I determined that NGS requires at least two more chapters, so it’s those that I’m focusing on for the duration of the week. Writing them seems like such a break when compared to revisions. I welcome it.
I’m also reading the sequel to James Patterson’s Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment, Maximum Ride: School’s Out Forever. The first book? Absolutely perfect in every sense of the word. The second? Well, I start it tonight. So really, I’m not reading it…yet. But I have been reading Guerrilla Marketing for Writers by Jay Conrad Levinson, Rick Frishman, and Michael Larsen. Wow. Amazing stuff. And luckily, I’m already on track with a lot of this as far as my plans go for promoting EGB.
But yeah, reading reading reading, writing writing writing…such is life.


Now I’ve got that song in my head:
“School’s out for summer…
“School’s out for EVER…”
LOL! Glad I’m not the only one…
Yeah, and that song always leads me into that stupid Wayne’s World movie… gaaahhh!
I so wish I could work from home rather than sitting in this soulless cubicle. It is just so non-conducive to writing fiction
