Update Link: Watch Me Burn – Part 38 | In Case You Missed It: NaNoWriMo Poll

Today is the last day for the NaNoWriMo poll! It ends tonight at midnight!

You know, most of the time I don’t feel like I’m actually 39, lol, but physically there are some days when I wake up and I’m like, nah, this body has definitely been on the planet for 39 years and two months. On Wednesday, we went to pub quiz and won (there was a question about the de Medici family in Florence, so it definitely felt like Lauren was there), and I drank a bit more than I usually do. I don’t typically drink anymore because I always associated it with being out with my friends and drinking alone feels sad, lol. AND THEN while I was at the bar, the Phillies pitched a no hitter, Castellanos got his 200th career home run and a rookie got his first home run in his FIRST at bat — so I went home and rewatched the entire game from start to finish — and by then it was 1:30 am so I stayed up to see if Taylor Swift was going announce 1989 TV at her final show in LA — all in all, I didn’t go to sleep until well after 2 am.

No regrets.

Anyway. Yesterday, I edited about 35% of Signs of Life for the final posting version. Chapters 1-15 are done! This final edit goes really fast because it’s just typos and checking for internal consistency. I mostly only had the typos and a few minor line adjustments. I think there’s one scene that needs a light rewrite and then two scenes that need to be switched in the order, but other than that, it’s pretty good.

Today, the goal is to get back on track with FMT. I hate that I lost a week, but clearly I needed the break, and I was a bit scattered with the one year anniversary — more than I thought I would be. Grief is a weird, sneaky bitch.

See you guys on Monday!
