The chaos of life has officially caught up with me and now I only have two weeks to do edits for my novel before sending it off to my editor. This deadline would’ve been hard enough alone, but I also have two little kids home with me. So…let’s see if I can meet the deadline!

Title: Can I Edit My Entire Novel in Two Weeks?
Search terms: editing my novel, writing my novel, author on deadline
Mandi, You make me feel guilty. I live by myself in Costa Rica, and some days I don’t feel like I get enough done. I could never get much done in your situation.
I feel similar. I have little time consuming work on a daily basis, and yet I struggle to write my book, even when I feel passionate about the story. I need to do better.
Definitely don’t compare, I’m not usually this productive haha
Great to see you! Good Luck! I wanted to thank you for the tutorial you put together for in design. I just finished my third middle grade chapter book and I never could have pulled it together without the program I purchased from you! Thanks so much! Joanne K Gentile
Thank you so much for the kind words, I’m so happy the course was helpful! 😊
You’re working hard. You deserve to pat yourself on the back 🌹 I worry about rushing stuff too and putting out the best book possible, but at the end of the day, we need this structured schedule to ensure we meet those deadlines. You rocked it!
Thank you so much, I really needed to hear that today! 😊
Editing 4 chapters in a day is awesome. I can barely get through one.
Working on a book is hard but doing it while also taking care of the children is just next level – speaking from experience. You’re doing a great job! 💚💚
