NaNoEdMo Update - 03/25
Mar. 25th, 2005 08:25 pmWell, I said I wasn't going to give up the ghost - and I'm not. Not quite, anyway. I had planned on getting a triumphant burst of editing speed last night, as the night at work was promising to be a quiet one. What I got instead was a five hour panic-driven madhouse at work, which left me so drained afterward that I was having trouble concentrating on knitting, for crying out loud. That's a sign, right there.
So instead of being on top of my game, I find myself behind it. Reaching 50 hours this month is an awfully long shot. Throw in Easter obligations and friends moving, and I'm almost ready to throw in the towel.
Almost.
I'm still going to take a swing at it, but I think I'll revise my goals somewhat. If I manage to hit 50, by golly, I'll be thrilled. So, my new goal is to hit 30 editing hours by month end, and to have a finished second draft by April 15th.
It looks like peace and quiet is on the menu tonight, thank god, so I think I'll put on some music, close down my infernal web browsers and get to work.
