I&#8217;m Grateful &#8211;<\/span>&nbsp;The end of last month was incredibly stressful for me. Too much activity plus lack of sleep plus some drama going on really strained me, but during that tough time I realized I am really grateful for my home environment, my chosen career, my family, and how God has put things together for me. Envy is my fatal flaw and I tend to want what other people have so this was a big thing for me. I&#8217;ve always tried to be thankful, but being grateful has always been difficult.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/FullMetalAlchemist-Envy.gif?resize=320%2C147\" width=\"320\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">When I think of Envy, I think of Envy from <br \/>\n<i>Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood<\/i>, okay? XD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">2.) Cutting and Writing Tightly &#8211; <\/span>I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of cutting in <i>Red Hood<\/i> to get my word count down for the publisher guidelines. I&#8217;ve had to choose which sentences are really important and this has helped me boil down to the best of the manuscript and make each sentence count. I&#8217;ve noticed as I&#8217;m rewriting <i>Subsapien Biomech<\/i> I&#8217;m writing tighter and my sentences are far better. Cutting isn&#8217;t always evil.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">3.) Acquiring Betas &#8211;<\/span> I&#8217;m gonna be honest here. I haven&#8217;t had the best luck with betas. Most of them have proved unreliable or they&#8217;ve given me pretty shoddy feedback. I&#8217;ve tried getting them in a lot of ways: asking friends, posting on a group, etc. Choosing the right betas is really important so instead of choosing like ten, I chose five people I know pretty well and so far the experience has been great. I have not looked at the feedback in its entirety yet, but I&#8217;m already getting back chapters to read later and hearing little tidbits of critique and comments and it&#8217;s been so encouraging. Choose your betas wisely.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">4.) Schedule in Vacation Time &#8211;<\/span> For the past two years I&#8217;ve been determined to break the stereotype that no one ever finishes their New Years resolutions. Last year I blasted that out of the water when I worked on three books and I did at least one drawing every month. Since I&#8217;m a stubborn and determined person, I naturally decided to do that again this year, and I&#8217;ve been doing pretty good so far.<\/p>\n<p>I made this detailed schedule on how to accomplish my goals, except I forgot to schedule in one teensy little important thing &#8230; VACATION TIME. I have something planned for every month almost down to the week with no time to breathe, so I&#8217;m having to carve out precious vacation time, because after writing practically non-stop since March has burned me out a bit. Note to self: next year figure in that I&#8217;m not superhuman and need some off time.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">5.) God Will Work it Out &#8211;<\/span> I tend to be a worrier. I&#8217;m awesome at speculating the worst possible ways things could go. This month my plans got very thrown with different visits that were supposed to happen and I got very stressed out, but thankfully God arranged the plans so they worked out better than what I had in mind and I had a peace about both of the ventures. I thought that was really cool. ^ ^<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: large;\">What I&#8217;m Going to Do:<\/span><br \/>\nJuly I&#8217;m focusing on writing and drawing with probably only going out of town for the Fourth if that.<\/p>\n<p>1.) I&#8217;m going to finish microedits on <i><a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2014\/12\/beautiful-books-3-lets-talk-editing-red.html\">Red Hood<\/a> <\/i>by the 13th then start on going over my beta readers&#8217; feedback. I&#8217;m also doing July Camp NaNoWriMo to finish up&nbsp;<i><a href=\"https:\/\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/2013\/03\/10-questions-about-subsapien-biomech.html\">Subsapien Biomech<\/a><\/i>.
