The edits have begun

Today’s progress:

Project: White Raven draft two

New words: 1,778 (plus a lot of words on character bios and worldbuilding info)

Total words:  1,778

Goal: 100k

Writing:

I know that I said that I’d be taking a break from posting word counts.  But I sat down this morning, looked at the snowflake outlining method and decided that it wasn’t what I wanted to do.

Instead I sat down and rewrote my character bios and some worldbuilding stuff and then started on edits for chapter one.  At this stage of editing, I work in a very slow fashion, essentially retyping the whole thing. It’s how my brain works, even though it feels somewhat non-productive at times.  I also work purely electronically, but I plan on printing out this version for the next round of edits.  Which will hopefully be line edits, unless I manage to write myself into some major plot holes.

Meanwhile, I have a list of changes as long as my arm to address.  My challenge now is to remember them all.

Real life:

I did a couple of loads of laundry, though it’s not going to dry for a couple of days, thanks to the weather.  Listened to the rain and the wind a lot.  Did the final polish on a review and posted it at Horrorscope.

And I’m flat-out exhausted from running around like a mad thing yesterday.  I’m amazed that I can still be productive.  If I had to be sociable in any way today, though, I’d be a monosyllabic idiot.  I just work that way.
