![Getting Back To Editing - May Plans [authortube]
Well after a bit of a bad month in terms of editing and writing, Im hoping to finally get back on track with editing Disarray, the second book in my post-apocalyptic series. Now, Ive not set a firm goal for editing, besides just getting on with it, but hopefully by the end of this month Ill have a better idea for how much longer Ill need before getting it back out into the world for more feedback.
Besides that I also plan to finish Tracker, my current read, and upload at least one other video on YouTube relating to advice or help, as thats taken a bit of a backseat for the past month or so! Hopefully Im back on track now!

![Finishing My Character Sheet - Productivity Spint [authortube]
So, as per my usual productivity sprints, these videos are essentially to hold me accountable for goals set. Again, I still debate the point of uploading them after completing the task so perhaps in future Ill change this up or think of another idea with these sprints of mine.
Anyway, I managed to complete my character sheet! There were a few blank spots at the end but they were for background characters where the cost of spending time on them out-weighed the benefits of doing something else!

![Hello There - August Update [authortube]
Hi. Yeah, so some things came up and life threw a curve ball at me, then when I was down it threw several more. But here we are though, almost back into it. Good stuff.
Ill be attempting to get into a routine again and back into the sphere. Anyway, what have you been up to?
