Draft 1, Book 2, 30 Days, Oy vey.

Written By Courtney Deane

Write the first draft of the second book in one month. No problem, right?

WOW.

Even just writing that sentence makes my heart pound.

August was…a month.

  • We had two out of our three family birthdays to celebrate.

  • I had out-of-state book clubs to (happily) attend.

  • Mr. Deane had to travel cross country while timing a hurricane.

  • And then there was that draft that needed to be written…

Let me say this now: writing a book in one month is NOT recommended. By me, anyway. And, I imagine, by any sane person.

But here’s the thing.

Publishing is all about hurry up and wait. Books have tremendously long lead times until they finally hit bookstore shelves (or our devices), which is how I found myself here…

A Day Like Any Other
