My editor is struggling
with the impacts of COVID.
She told me
it would take her
4 times as long
to edit my next release.
That’s okay.
I factor in time
for one major ‘disaster’
into my release schedule.
After taking a month
instead of a week
to look at first rounds
of edits,
my editor told me
the story
wasn’t working for her.
I have to do
major, burn the story
to the ground
rewrites.
That’s an even BIGGER
scheduling disaster.
I didn’t have
TWO major scheduling disasters
built into my timeline.
And I should have that
factored in
because the world
is completely f*cked up
right now.
The odds of
two major scheduling disasters
happening
is high.
Schedule for two
major disruptions
to your product development
timelines.
