translate and edit

I am rephrasing this goal, starting today, with a manageable regular partial goal to keep me going.

“Translate my book, one page per day, until it is finished.”

There. At this rate it should be finished in a little over a month.

I am still nowhere near having translated the whole thing!
I hate myself.

Am translating. LOVE the MAC. Also love the translating. I have dropped the editing for now, largely, because I am in a hurry. Of course I change bits here and there as I work through it but mostly I leave the thing as it is, only in a different language. I also feel that I need to send my friends another instalment of the story but for that i would have to figure out what they already have etc. Too tired for that now. Hah!

With my new nifty computer I will be able to write and translate on the train again. I am bound to finish translating before the next NaNo! (This is starting to feel like a NaNo in its own right…)

Apple says they’ll deliver my new macbook today or tomorrow. Yay!

I just realised that it was (is) my goal to translate last year’s nano novel before starting this year’s. What means I have a bit more than a month and a half left. It is doable but it means that I have to apply myself. Also, I need to come up with an idea for this year. Hm… Does anyone have anything for me? All I need is a little starter idea, a ‘what if?’ upon which to build further storytelling.

Slowly but surely. Made a few more pages. Could send some to friends but am hesitant because it may suck too much. :p
New laptop not arrived yet because of Apple supply issues in NL but hope to receive soon. Fingers crossed.

One should always start with the good news so I’ll give you the bad news first. I know that doesn’t make sense.

I wanted to work on it this evening but I didn’t. Too tired, too busy with stupid housework, too busy with sitting behind the computer doing other things. So no progress.

I will buy myself a fancy-schmancy laptop soon so I will be able to work on the train and enjoy working on it more when I’m at home. Progress is sure to be made.

Now I’m wondering if I should continue this or just start a new story – although I haven’t the slightest idea what that would be.

Pondering pondering wondering wondering.

Getting there…
