10 Steps Forward

So, the other day I was cleaning my computer when I stumbled across a copy of the book's project file in one of the insurmountable folders my desktop has accumulated. I decided to pop it open and check it out. Turns out, it was a fully up to date copy. So, I got back everything that I lost. So that's a very good thing,

Read Aloud

So, Friday I read chapters 1 and 2 alloud in the library. It went well, but I had trouble getting my eyes out of my Kindle to aknowledge my audience. I'm not the greatest presenter. Overall, I think it went well. Most of the comment cards collected stated the person would like to read more. Some were even pleasantly surprised by the content, saying they wouldn't normally think to pick up a book about foxes, but once they heard the first chapter or so, they wanted more. A handful of people said that it's just not their genre, and several more said no without any explanation. The most peculier response was to the question about my dictation and deliverance. Many people said I spoke well, emphasized what I should have, and had good varied voices for the characters. Others said I was too monotone and didn't emphasize much. The split was almost exactly 50/50. I'm unsure if how closely audience members paid attention influenced their responses, but many of the cards that

Once Upon...

Next week is the last week of senior projects...so sad. It's also the last week of school for seniors...even more sad. Tonight is also Prom, and I'll be leaving in about ten minutes. I'm going stag. Looks like I won't be finishing before the projects end, but I really hope I manage to finish at least by mid June. I can't wait to publish and sell it. Then I can officially say I'm an author. Though the projects end next week I am going to keep blogging until it's complete. This blog, and my school account as a whole, will be removed from the system on June 30th, so if I'm not done before then, I'll continue blogging on my personal blog. Today I accomplished less than what I wanted, but I also had to leave school earlier than I wanted to get clothes for Prom. If my mother sends me her photos I can attach some to another post. But anyway, I'm only half way through rewriting the next chapter. The reason I'm rewriting the entire chapter is beca

Well...At Least Something is Complete

So, now it's Tuesday. Today I finished editing chapter 9. I still have some revising to do for chapter 2, and I have to finish going through markups for 3-6, but progress is at least happening. The really important part of today's update, though, is that the cover is now 100% complete. I met with Ms. Higger and Mr. Faust and they gave me a few critiques and helped me fix a few small details. I kept a log of my work on this image from when I started back in May of 2017. In total I've clocked about 23 hours of work on the image. It took me FOREVER! But I'm glad it's finally done. I'm one more step closer to publication.
