I was bad - I skipped Day Two. However, I did a solid hour and a half of editing today, so that partly makes up for it. Another hour and a half tomorrow and I'll be caught up and laughing.
Got Chapter 6 edited down to 1,300 words! This one needed some substantial re-writing, too. I borrowed an event from later and used it here, where I think it fits better. This chapter needed more tension, anyway - or so my lengthy author's note tells me.
For your amusement: ( here is the author's note I left myself mid-way through this chapter. )
Ah, self-loathing. It never gets old in the writing world.
I should start posting the chapters for this again, but not until the week is up. (The urge to procrastinate is strong.)
From here on in I have done absolutely no editing since I wrote this nearly two years ago for NaNoWriMo. The waters, they be getting rough. And I be getting excited.
