weekly whatever
Well. I barely wrote enough to require counting this week. Less than a thousand words total (though they were at least fun, smutty words!). HOWEVER. I made it through about half of my former nanonovel with red pen in hand! I'm discovering a lot of issues with it just by paying attention, but this is good, because just about all of them are fixable -- and as I'm thinking of how to fix them, other bits and pieces occur to me, like things that will heighten the tension and make the protagonist's arch make more sense. I'm even starting to get an inkling of how the darned thing ends, which is good seeing as how I just never wrote that part. (Oops.)
But the upshot is, even with the low word count, I do NOT feel unproductive! Which is what I was talking about a couple months ago now as one of my issues with editing. So huzzah! I know, every time I go through one of these phases, I get that super-jazzed this could totally be a salable novel! feeling, but seriously! This could totally be a salable novel!
Goals for next week:
-Continue the red penning
-Write something for the Refuge Birthday Extravaganza
-Work on the next chapter of G&D
