My self-given deadline for this round of edits is in like 2 weeks ... and I still have about 20 chapters to look over. Can I do it?

I always feel like I never know what to post on here. I want to talk about whatever pops in my mind but as soon as I go to type about it my mind goes blank.

At the mall today, and All Too Well came on. It wasn't the 10 minute version and I was so so confused. Like, what do you mean she's cutting that chorus short? Where's the car keys? Keychain on the ground who? Anyway, my brother got a whole rant about it that he did not ask for.

Pay day is this week and I don't have any bills to worry about either! I'm so so excited! Can't wait to put some cash away for publishing and maybe go buy some ice cream and a book or two :)

Made myself a coffee and am sitting down to work out my plan for getting these edits done

Literally this!

Half hoping to publish my debut next year, but financially and work-wisely am starting to wonder if it's better to wait until 2027. Or pick a different book to start with. Or maybe I should just query again and see if trad pub works this time. How do you decide these things?

anyway, it worries me to see an increase in AI usage in the writing community… the lack of morals is abysmal

Is it even worth trying to publish a book nowadays? The stupid first and ninth letters program (trying to keep my comments human by not putting the word) learns from your writing and there’s creepy scams and pirates and I don’t even know if it’s worth it anymore.
