(no subject)
To post or not to post, that is the question.
Actually, the more pertinent questions going through my brain are: when is the family leaving? why isn't there a TV channel dedicated to America's next top Model? did Janice Dickinson get her neck tucked? Is neck tucking even possible? can someone tuck my neck? where's my cat tree, damn it??? good God, WHY does Bernadette Peters look younger than me??
You know the usual questions that flit through my mind... sadly.
But at the moment, I can't help but notice the date and lament. I'd hoped to post my next chapter of No Other One yesterday, but I haven't even gotten it back yet from
keeper_of_stars. I really, really HATE when authors regularly fail to post in a timely manner; and I feel like my fic is moving slowly enough, lol, that it really needs to be updated at regular intervals to maintain its readership. Not to mention, I'm about... 10-15 chapters AHEAD of my posting schedule in terms of writing. Which makes me worry that things won't be as fresh for me when I go to edit it.
And on a nano level, I despise that I'm writing so much, but my actual posting hasn't changed at all. It gives me less of a reason to continue writing at this pace, which saddens me.
So I don't know what to do. Do I post the chapter unbetaed (and just quickly go through and fix some stuff)? Do I wait for my chapter to be betaed when I have NO idea when my fic will actually be returned to me?
tinpra suggested posting it unbetaed and then reposting when it was edited. But that sounds like a lot more work, and I don't want to post something that's got errors in it or problems with it.
I feel like I'm in a really awful position, and I don't know what to do, because no solution at the moment seems ideal.
Thoughts anyone?
By the way, P.S. -- if one more family member talks about the Grey's Anatomy cliffhanger, I'm hanging myself. >:-(
