another exciting update post!

Just…kidding. Did I entice you?

Yeah, my life has been far from exciting these days. The best part of writing a book is finishing writing a book. But I’m not there yet.

We’re about a week past our final draft deadline and closing in on our 5th edit. But my little baby is definitely, almost there. It’s crazy to think that this book is slotted to be on the shelves this December. More updates on that later.

Once my daily routine does not involve waking up at 6am to get in 1-2 hours of editing before work, coming home to edit after work, and turning down social playtime to edit, I’m going to go nuts. Yes, I’m buying myself 1 ticket to Fun City. Get ready.

Anyway, I wanted to write a little blurb about finishing Book Thief because it was awesome and I highly recommend you read it. Now, I’m spending my time waiting for the bus by reading Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher. I’m still on the first few pages, and it’s felt slightly slow, but I like the narrative voice, so we’ll see what happens.

Ooh, one more thing: I’m going to my first monster truck rally this weekend in Oakland. One of my friends who is also going has been to 17 monster truck rallies in his life. This will be his EIGHTEEN MONSTER TRUCK RALLY. I am VERY excited.

That’s all for now!
