It’s Not a Complete Loss Today

Today hasn’t been a total loss when it comes to my involvement with the October Prep Challenge. True, I haven’t gotten any more written on my second and third Outlines. And I haven’t started working on my four short stories. But I have started working on this challenge.

I was about to start working on my first short story when I realized that I hadn’t set up my Item for this novel yet. That is what I have been doing for the last few hours. Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten too far on it yet. The reason I haven’t gotten more done is because of no folders.

Wanted to do separate folders for this Prep Challenge, for the Outlines, for the short stories, and for the novel. But I couldn’t figure out a way to do that. So, after trying to figure it out forever, I checked out how I did it for a novel I tried did a few years ago. And I realized what I was doing wrong.

Unfortunately, that took me a couple of hours of panicking to do. Once I realized what I needed to do, I started doing it. That’s why I have only gotten the first five days of this challenge entered. I would still be doing it right now if I didn’t want to miss another blogging day. That I didn’t want to do.

Will I continue working on this new novel creation after I get finished this blog entry? That is my plan. And I think that I will be able to do it. I’m just not sure how long it will take to do it. I don’t think that it will take too much longer than an hour or two. But I may be wrong about that.

As far as I know, my brother and I don’t have too much that needs to be done tomorrow. Except for me getting ready for work. At least I don’t think that we do. It wouldn’t be the first time that I was wrong about that. Hopefully, this won’t be one of those times.

If it’s not one of those times, I should be able to start working on my first Short Story. I have already written it out in my mind. Now all I need to do is write it on my laptop. I’m hoping that I can get it done before I go to work tomorrow at midnight. After all, I don’t have too much time left to finish this first Short Story.

Whether I get it done or not, when I go to work tomorrow, I will continue to work on my second Outline for this challenge. Hopefully, I will get further along than I did last Sunday. I still don’t know what happened. But it doesn’t matter. All that does matter is getting this novel challenge created and getting the first Short Story done.
