I actually managed to do a tiny bit of work on my WIP!
Once again, I had to re-familiarize myself with it, so I did some re-reading. I made little 1-2 sentence notes about what happened in the chapters to make the process a little easier. I managed to get through just over half of the chapters. I also marked (highlighted) some of the passages that I know need to be deleted.
Iād hoped to actually get some revisions done, but work is insane, and we got a puppy. Between those two things I have very little energy when I get home from work. Itās annoying and Iām frustrated. I want to work on my WIP. For the first time in what feels like a long time, I legitimately want to dive back into the world I created.
I hate not having the energy to do it.
Weāre in our holiday rush at work, and it means staying late, and then I come home to puppy duty, dinner, a walk, then a shower and then itās 10:30PM and Iām ready for bed. I donāt even read physical books anymore. If itās not an audiobook, then I donāt really read it.
Thatās got to change, because I have so many October ARCs I need to read. Iāll be busy this upcoming weekend.
I digress ā as per usual.
I had really wanted to have a biggerā¦a better update this month. Iām really going to try and get at least a couple chapters revised in October. I need to finish this damn book.
I was thinking about sharing a short scene from my WIP, but I was looking in my āWriting Projectsā Folder and I stumbled across this piece that Iād started writing earlier this year in a fit on inspiration. With NaNoWriMo coming up, I need to decide what Iām going to work on. 2020 has given me some pretty good Shiny New Ideas ā so I thought Iād share an Unedited short scene from this WIP Iāve labeled
2020 DYSTOPIAN VIRUS WIP
Yeahā¦my brainās weird and I was definitely inspired by current events. I mentioned this WIP back in Writing Update #14 and it very well might be a contender for NaNo this year. I have quite a few ideas that I really would love to work on, but Iāll have to wait and see what strikes me when the time comes.
Before I share this ā I just want to reiterate that this is Unedited, late night word vomit, written in a fit of inspiration. Itās repetitive and this is the first time Iāve opened the document since like, late March or April. So, please don’t judge too harshly.


Thoughts?
On second thought, Iām not sure I want to know LOL. I do know that I absolutely loved this when I was writing it. I donāt know what the MCās name is yet, so maybe if I write the rest of this for NaNo, itāll come to me. I hope you liked this little snippet. Itās never easy for me to share my writing ā especially when itās this rough and unedited. I usually write the stories āwrongā before theyāre right and this will probably end up changing a million times if I seriously continue to work on it.
Iām off to bed, but I hope your writing endeavors are going great and let me know if youāre planning on participating in NaNoWriMo this year!
