Desperately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">And I mean <em><strong>desperately<\/strong><\/em>. I am not good at all with getting stuff done, especially with writing&#8230; I don&#8217;t even know how I managed to finish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aw\/d\/B0CH23SQR9\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.n5FyhjyTohMHhPSp2JqReVT1YVWBVDPSeaHJI_EgX8E.OBNSch5zYfH6bwcq9hT4HFMlKGOo-BAI31WXt5a_Bug&amp;qid=1777513496&amp;sr=8-1\">Betrayal<\/a> @-@ . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I&#8217;m SOO desperately hoping that I&#8217;ll be able to get done editing Stuck in Laemek within the three month range. If I don&#8217;t&#8230; I&#8217;m screwed. Like utterly screwed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If I can&#8217;t get this novel OUT before I&#8217;m eighteen I&#8217;m going to hurt somebody. It won&#8217;t be pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Haha, jokes aside&#8230; Let me give the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I was convinced to rewrite Stuck in Laemek entirely but then got re-convinced to just release it the way it is (with editing and whatnot, I&#8217;m not releasing another book like Betrayal, God knows how horrible that editing was, it was practically released as the first draft, woah&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">So,  most of my time was editing, then rewriting, then going back to the original copy and editing again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That&#8217;s already, in my book, a bunch of time wasted, my God..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Anywho, currently I&#8217;m working on chapter fifteen. Out of, more or less, forty something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I know how it seems, I know how it seems, don&#8217;t jump me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Unless you, yourself, have edited a novel&#8230; Do NOT judge me. I&#8217;m slow and when you <em>don&#8217;t <\/em>want to edit, it takes forever just to get through a single five hundred word chapter&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But like I said, I&#8217;m going to try my best to go through every single day of this summer break to get this darn novel done, because it needs to be, I&#8217;m sick of it, I want to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By a lot. I have so many other novel ideas and I&#8217;ve been stuck with this one for so long now, as much as I love this world even if I do also hate it, I need something new, and I already have at least three novels I gotta write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Anywho, I&#8217;ll be completely honest, the longer I stare at the Stuck in Laemek cover, the more I kind of hate it&#8230; Don&#8217;t get me wrong, it&#8217;s not exactly bad, but it&#8217;s also not exactly good, and there can definitely be adjustments. HOWEVER&#8230; To preserve history&#8230; I shall leave it. For now. Maybe in the future, like I plan to for Betrayal, I&#8217;ll be able to rewrite\/redraw it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I kind of doubt it, though, to be honest, it isn&#8217;t <em>that <\/em>bad from Betrayal, Betrayal definitely needs that re-do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But anyway, that&#8217;s it!! Hopefully we can get this done in a flash, we all want it out; my family have been kept in the dark for so long now, I <em>need <\/em>to talk to someone about this dang-oh book!! >:(<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If you&#8217;re interested in more or different content, I highly recommend checking out my Instagram\/Threads: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/minatotheauthor\/\">@minatotheauthor <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Also&#8230; If anyone is curious, I do in fact do all of the art for my SIL posts&#8230; They&#8217;re not perfect, but hey, at least it&#8217;s content, amirite? &#x1f61b;&#8230; No?
