Venus v Serena
Hey Guys,
I won't be able to watch the Venus-Serena US Open match tonight. Previously scheduled plans and all that. Please enjoy it for me. :)
I've watched almost every match they've played against each other since the mid-2000's. Venus Williams is probably my biggest idol. I was fortunate enough to see them live at the US Open in 2015 when Serena was going for the Calendar Year Grand Slam. That was just an amazing battle. It's also the only time I've been to the US Open. (And it was a birthday surprise! You'd think having a birthday so close to the Open would mean I've been to it a few more times... hint, hint.)
In writing news: I'm going to be giving up editing over the next month to two months so that I can finish pulling together the last three books. Starting September 1st I'll be posting my daily word count on Twitter (though I'm keeping it anonymous for now... which kind of defeats the point, but oh well).
If anyone wants to join me on my daily writing challenges, let me know. :) Usually they go something like: write for half an hour every hour. You could modify that to write half an hour, take half an hour off, write for half an hour. So you'd set aside an hour for your writing.
The main point is to get in the habit and keep going every day.
I spent the past few days freeing up my schedule so I can do this focused writing challenge. My apologies to those of you who have messaged me or emailed. I've read them all! I'll have more time starting tomorrow to answer you!
The most significant milestone over the past week has been finally, finally, finally taming Book Six. I was going to go on to Book Seven, but there was just so much nagging me about Book Six that I couldn't in good conscious leave it.
Book Six is currently about 109k words. It'll probably grow by about 10% over the next round of edits. Then it'll shrink by about the same amount when I tighten everything up. Then it'll be ready for first readers.
Lot's planned for September. I hope you are as productive as I plan to be. :) Feel free to write alongside me.
All the best,
Chris
PS: Go Venus. I'm always rooting for Venus, lol.
