It’s crunch time for 3 in April…

Okay everyone. I’m going to try to rush this thing out. This post will give you an update as the day goes. The deadline, 6:30pm my time when I’ve agreed to go see
Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies
in the dollar theatre with my friend. Give me all your positive energies! Feed them to me! I will be updating this post as needed!

  • 9:25am- At the start of the day I had 2 pages done. I have just returned to make this post armed with a Diet Dr Pepper and a steak & cheese sub from 7-11. I’m surprised at the quality of the sub. Give it a try. As for writing, got stuck when I couldn’t remember what I named the class Robynne now plays in Aspect Realms. Contact reader Shadowmaster who helps me out when I forget things. Rippleblade. Waveförm the Seraphim Rippleblade. It’s coming back to me now
  • 12:13pm- We are now up to 4 pages. I think I’m about halfway done. I also have a bit more time as Pride, Prejudice and Zombies doesn’t have a showing until later than I thought so I’m likely able to post around 8pm my time and still have plenty of time to go see that. So… progress! As I have not have had lunch and I just got paid, I’m going to go get sushi for lunch! I’ve earned it! Time to treat myself.
  • 1:21pm- Back from sushi. Mmmmm. Stomach full. Back to writing!
  • 3:56pm- Finished the rough draft of my chapter! Now I’m having some friends look it over to find my errors. It’s looking like we WILL publish tonight, even if it’s without comments. I’m going to finally take a shower! Yay for not smelling like old shoes!
  • 7:27pm- Editting done! Special thanks to Shadowmaster and SuperJordan for helping me get this chapter ready. Getting stuff ready for posting!
  • 7:36pm- Chapter posted! Wooo! We did it! We did it! Hooraaaay! Okay, so here is the plan, tomorrow I’ll make another post giving you all the monthly image, writing up the comments for the chapter, updating the website, and relaxing. Guys, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. It definitely helped. This month was a BIG boost to my confidence. I was able to get three (admittedly short) chapters posted in the busiest month my job provides due to tax time while also playing too much Overwatch and watching too much Gravity Falls! It lets me know I can accomplish any goal as long as I make put enough effort into it. Will I be making a habit of this? Sorry, no. This was a bit too much for me, but it is a great motivator. Whew! Thanks again guys. You are the best!

Yes we did!

PS: as you can probably guess, the vignette chapter will not be ready tomorrow. I’ll be aiming for later in the week. Sorry to all you patrons.

  1. Sending positive energies and well-wishes your way. Just think Rosie the Riveter — WE CAN DO IT! 🙂

  2. Ganbatte Taralynn! You can do it!
    *shoots off fireworks*

    Seriously, good luck; I believe in you. While I’d love to have a new chapter, don’t stress if you feel like it can’t happen. Just relax and take in the good vibes and positive energy we’re all sending you.

  3. I’m with Zexand. Don’t stress yourself out if you can’t quite make it, and don’t put up substandard work just to force it out in “time”. While I’d love to read a new chapter, I don’t want to read it at your expense, or at the expense of quality.

    All that said. I’m sure you can do it and I can’t wait!

  4. LOL! We knew you could do it! And hooooray for finally having a shower! Being stinky sucks.

  5. Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies

    No, just … no. *shudder* Zombies give me the heebie-jeebies. And nightmares.

    I think I’ll join Zexand and Abigail in sending non-stress filled good vibes and positive energy.

  6. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think you were going to pull it off, but you did! Congrats!

  7. Hooray! That’s awesome that you accomplished that goal! And as a reader, I love the fast updates. I wouldn’t want them all the time, but it’s been a fun change of pace.

  8. I agree with Annie. I liked the more frequent updates. I understand that is difficult, but I’d personally be fine with shorter Chapters if they were more frequent.
