I Survived Simultaneous Deadlines

One thing that never occurred to me when I decided to write two series at once was that the edits might overlap. I figured if the release dates were far apart, everything would work out. 

This was naive.

But after a very stressful three weeks, both books have been turned in. I survived. Though this is how I feel right now.

How about you? Ever felt like this? If so, what was it that piled on the stress?

   Hi Jill! Oh gosh, yes. I feel so stressed that I can’t even think straight all the time. Mostly it’s from a busy schedule, juggling weekly meetings in Sea Scouts (co-ed Boy Scouts in boats, basically,) and YMCA Youth and Government. There’s also volunteer work at my city museum to take up my time, and my position as a 4-H club president. Add schoolwork onto the top, and I sometimes think that my schedule cannot get any more hectic. But just to make my life complete, I work on my novels every day for at least an hour. I guess it’s just life sometimes. Gotta love it, huh?

   Hope the stress lets up some for you now that you’re past those pesky deadlines!

     Yeah, that sounds like you need to lay down, Sarah! LOL
     I think the stress is gone for a while. Yay!

   Oh, yes, Jill. Like right now I have three papers due, on top of the rest of my homework. Best part is, they are all due tomorrow.
