You're now reading the blog of someone who is officially under the gun from her publisher. And by under the gun I mean if I don't finish this book STAT I'm going to get some kind of painful beating. They won't even let me give up. Because there are sometimes when things slow, sometimes I get too busy, sometimes I thnk it's going nowhere and the writing stops. Today I learned that they believe in my project so much that it is GOING to happen, and it can happen the easy way (which isn't easy) and the hard way. Which might very well involve Chinese water torture.
(does that really hurt?)
I have taken paid vacation from work from the 22nd of February thru the 5th of March and with the exception of three preplanned days in San Francisco, 8-12 hours per day will be expected to be spent on this project. I have been warned that I will be accountable every day for a certain amount of words.
The cover concept and photo shoot for publicity shots will happen during that time, and the publisher will begin to promote the project and its overwhelmed writer on its website.
Welcome to what might be HELL.
I plan on using this blog as a venting area. Because I'm going to be tied to my computer practically. I'm going to be pissed. I'm going to be delirious. But I'm going to be writing. And if anyone wonders what it's like to get a book deal from start to finish , stick around. :-D
Through the internet, my blabber mouth has made public the complete fallapart of my life. I hope you'll all continue to support me as it gets put back together in an amazing, exciting way.
Many of my readers here come from USAViation.com and the "Wendy's" schtick. Many of my readers don't even know this is an internet blog because I've somehow gotten this to post directly to my facebook page (I dont know how to make it stop) but the direct link to this site is internationalshannon.blogspot.com. Many of my readers are family members who think I have no idea that I'm actually posting for the world to see. Then there are those who read this just to find ways to use it against me.
However you found me, however you know me, whatever the reason is that you're still here....I appreciate you. Even those who don't agree with this.
It's go time! Watch me go.
Love You ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON!!!!!!!!!!
