Shorter revision Goals

 Eli, man, you remember what they said at that austsim group, about Goals? 

You, just, want to achieve a goal? You break it into chunks, smaller goals to better achieve the bigger one, block out all the noise, don't just say you are and really let their nonsense get to you, really don't doubt yourself, you know what you gotta do, so, do it. You have always had what it takes.

So Amy helped a lot, you have a lot of revisions Back Logged, now all you need to do, is write them: 

revision cluster deadline (MAY 17th):

Scenes to add:

1. Roxy's scene Queercore/Leather/Punk mentoring scene in Her room.

2. Lester goes to CBGBS for the first time, tries to save/befriends Peachy, (who comes back in book 2) and upstages Dimond and Gods bastard as Mack Lasher (lies a lot about being famous but questions it )

3. Finish Battle of the bands FINAL revsion touches: rewriting battle of the bands rubin winning, deleting extra banter, Rubin Winning scene, re write post battle of the bands breakdown with Lester and Kevin in Kevins car

4. Add Earthwrorms scene after Chili Papers concert, 

5. Make Lester break into the Chili papers concert backstage and prove himself as a roadie with Flea trivia, and loyalty instead of winning the VIP pass on the radio like now.  

6. First battle of the bands try out (where they surprisingly impress and intimate Rubin and the judges)

7. First Camlot records scene where Lester defends and gushes about the red hot chili peppers, especially Flea /establishes the other bands, music geeks don't respect him or take him seriously at all.

6. Shorten the following scenes along the way:

            1. Car ride on the way to chilis concert 

            2. First and last flatt earth hill scene will Kevin, (kev only needs to give lester flag, not song save song for later, make both less cheasy make Kev give less pep talks and be less repetitive)

            3. Shorten other scenes.

New Lying Flatt art for new revisons: (in progress needs to be colored /collage/phortogrpah backrounds filled in)

 New LF Illustrations, for the New revisions: 

To Add into the book when story catches up/when you add color:

1. Lester outside CBGBs, with an assortment of rockers and people like rocxy/magzines had dsibribed deciding to go in, after buying clothes at trash and vaudile being reckless decides to go in, as mack lasher. 

Lester Buys the band, Leather outfits at the trash and vaudeville. 

Lester at night being sad, dreaming of about being Mack Lasher fully ons stage, writes song as him before he sees Rubin priming him to give up himself entirely when Rubin betrays him (he was already halfway there)

Crowdfunding for a COPYEDTIOR PLANS!!!

 Mutalial Aid, Crowdfunding Pitch: Because of my Severe Dyslexia, and Financial troubles, I need to raise x amount of funds to pay my Copy Editor, can you help? (*however much it ends up being after revisions per the amount charged by the best Edtiors I can find on, Feiver, and Reedsy*) 

I have a formal dignosis for Austsim spectrum disorder, ADHD, Dysgraphia, and Dyselxia all of witch have made writing my novel, witch I've been writing for four years now, an extreme challenge, but because of my disexlia witch has been constantly ignored by teachers, professors and parents much of my life, even recneley akdnowgalged but still downplayed and misunderstood, in its severity as a disbaled person, I cannot spell/reconize the miseplling of words on my own despite use of Grammarly or autocorrect even in the correct context. After my novel has already been extensively developmentally edited my my longtime writing coach Amy who's worked with me at Writopia lab NYC since I was 13, this book, Lying Flatt, is my passion project, first book in a three book trilogy.: Instert more info about lying flat, get them to care about it. But Becuase of my serevere disblity, I cannot copy edit this book on my own, and because I am a low income collage student, who doesn't have any publishing/industry connections or industry connections at all really, I need to raise X amount of money to help pay this copy editor to proof my finished mansurpt of all spelling errors, before I can send it out for litatrtary agents hopefully by this summer. I have been working nonstop for four years, I'm so close to publishing this book it will be the first and only acomplsihembt I have made in my life but for spelling proofing I cant do it on my own and as i found out the hard way last year, since my book is even after several years of drafts, edtits and now the final round of edtit, is still and will remain 500 pages long all edtiors charge several 1,000$ for that, wiotch as a broke disbaled kid, going to community collage in harlem, on final aid I just cant afford. So Can you help me get to my goal, due to my dibslity, afford to pay this copy editor?
