I've mentioned before about how I keep track of the day in my books by using a calendar and writing down the chapter number on a particular day. This is the cleanest, easiest way I've found not to mess up.
Well, guess who didn't do this for a quick, side project? Not until the midway point.
Then I started reading through what I'd written and marking all the chapters in on the calendar. And discovered that I messed up the timeline.
For real.
So I'm whiting out all the chapter numbers I wrote in based on where I thought I was and putting in the correct numbers.
Plus side? I guess at least I didn't mess up the entire book. Just half of it.
Another plus? At least I've only had to make one correction to the quick project. So far. I have a few more chapters to read before I get through what I've written.
I seriously need to not do this again. I lose track of book time as easily as I lose track of time in real life.
Lesson (hopefully) learned.
