I don't know that I can get this done by September 1st.
Dark Phoenix is 62,000 and then some words alone. The prologue is 3,533. I have not even begun Phoenix yet. And I (finally) got a job this week, and school starts the 16th.
There's not enough time.
I just had to take a week off of writing, primarily because my dog hurt himself on his foot (we think it was a spider bite), the wound got infected, and I've had to keep him under surveillance and in the Cone of Shame (until he figured out how to get it off, lousy intelligent dog) ever since. The wound initially ulcerated, and I was very afraid he would lose his leg. He's fine now, and healing properly, but I just could not write while that was going on.
Also I found out that three and some change weeks doing nothing but writing is my limit. I was disgusted with being on the computer, so this past week I went offline in every way imaginable. And I feel much better, and reinvigorated, but taking an entire week off from writing has set me back.
I don't know that I can do this.
If I don't make it, I will still finish it. I've been waiting for two years to tell this story, and the time to tell it is now. Just getting that RD done for the 1st is looking less and less likely.
I hope this doesn't disappoint you guys too much.
