Ok, so I wrote earlier in the month that I would be finishing the rough draft of my historical fiction novel by the end of November. Well, I took on a second CASA case this past Tuesday. So, that means even less free time to work on writing. Do I regret it? Not a chance. My new case involves an infant and I'm really excited about helping this little one have a better and brighter future. He's adorable - I've already fallen in love with him. :-)
So, I'm going to have to push back my finish date for the novel rough draft. I now plan to have it done by the end of the year. I have already begun filling in some of the gaps I left in the first half of the novel. I should be finished with the "catch up" work soon and moving forward with the plot.
The tough part? I'm still debating on where to end it. *sigh* I will just have to trust my instincts when the time arrives.
I will definitely post when it's complete. Although that will be when the work really starts.

In case you're forgiven for pushing back your deadline. ;D hehe
Best of luck with your case. That's great.
Best of luck with your case. As a special-needs teacher, you know I applaud anyone who helps children.
Good luck with that case. I hope everything works out.
We have to pace ourselves with writing and it's inevitable that we have to balance it with all the stuff going on in 'real life'. Don't worry too much about not making that deadline. Think of a new deadline that's doable and stick with it. You'll get that draft finished.

Thanks Jaleh, Brad and Jai. :-)
I'm in the research phase of this new case and it's much more time-consuming.
But on an up note, my first case should be dismissed soon. :-D
Now I just have to finish my law school applications and the fun times will really roll!
