Last night I went at the editing for a full hour again, getting Chapter 10 all wrapped up. It's about 700 words too long, which is interesting because about 700 words want to become part of the next chapter. That works out pretty well.

The next chapter is SUPER long (something like 4,500 words!) so I think breaking it in two will be on the menu. Still needs to have a lot of padding cut out.

My adoring fans (read: fan) want to check out the re-write, and I think posting it might be fun. I'm going to slap 'em up there without formatting for now. Might add italics and the like in again later, but I might not - there's gonna be another few revisions after this one, I think.

Going to try for half an hour. At this rate I can take Christmas off no sweat. Things are actually coming along more quickly than I thought. Another couple of nights might wrap this thing up for me.

Okay, less with the typing, more with the editing and/or posting.


[Edit:] And still I don't suck!

Just did half an hour of work, spliced and edited Chapter 11 into existance and got the document set up for Chapter 12. I think the next couple of chapters are going to be mostly cutting rather than rewriting - I'm going to try my damndest not to write any more new material than absolutely necessary.

Maybe I'll post the draft 2 chapters over the weekend between calls at work (assuming there will be TIME between calls at work.)

An amazing, wonderful thing just happened to me.

It was 1:30, about half an hour before I expected to head to work. I had my lunch packed, everything was ready. "How nice," I said to myself, "I shall have some free time. Whatever shall I do with it?"

And do you know what I decided, Gentle Readers?

I decided to go get my daily editing in.

The scary thing?


I actually DID!



So yeah, something fishy is going on here. I keep actually, like, doing what I say I'm going to do. Man, if this keeps up, unimaginable vistas shall open up before me, like shutters to the wide, wide world of Doing Stuff.

Chapter 12 is about half done now. I'm seriously getting close to having this draft finished. I can taste it, baby.
