Ha! Two more scenes done on this draft.

Count:



I know, it doesn't seem like much, but really, everything done is less that I have to do later.

So far, this rewrite is going a lot better than others. I think it's because I have all my notes in the text and everything else right there while I write. I need to remember this for in the future.

I'm going to go for three scenes a day during the week, and one or two scenes a day on the weekend, depending on how they fall. Which, really, is cool for me. That should get the entire thing done by October first, when I can concentrate on this year's NaNo.

Stupidly, I once thought that I would do two NaNo's. A solo one and a co-written one. Yeah, my brain finally admitted it just wants to do the one that will be co-written. Much better for me, because really that would just be too insane.

So, this is what's going on the state of writing. I do have other stories I should be writing that just aren't working for me. They may end up being abandoned. I love the characters/ideas but they've sat for so long that I just can't do it any more. (Yeah, J, this might include Ari.)

However, for tonight, I'm going to bask in the glow of accomplishment and revel in getting this stuff done.

So, I've done two scenes on KoO today so far. They were two scenes I had to reverse the order of, so the story flowed better. I think it actually worked, because it builds tension into the story at that point - which is just introducing characters mostly. However, it does that, plus introduces relationships, AND adds tension.

... Sometimes, I feel like an awesome writer.

Okay, since the roomie isn't here for RP, I'm going to do laundry, and begin again.

Count for now:




- Keep in mind, it won't let me change 'words' to 'pages' so this is actually a page count.

Edit: Did manage one more scene:

Ever have those moments, while writing, where just go "FUCK ME WHAT?"

This is one of those moments.



The edit of Knights of Orion with my editing notes added to it is completely done.

Completely. Done.

The rewrite is in August. But for now, I'm going to go open a beer. I think I've earned it.

The page count increased because of the editing. But, I did manage two scenes today. I need to go clean the downstairs and help the room mate out.

Luckily, I am ahead of where I wanted to be at the end of the month.

I wanted to finish this by then, and it truly looks like I'm going to get there!

For now. To cleaning.

I didn't post last night, but I did edit yesterday. Once I have handled responsibilities for the morning, I will head up to my spot and edit again. But, to keep everyone up to date, I'm posting a graphic this morning.



I was going to hope to have it done next week. Unfortunately, I don't think that'll happen. Especially since I have to take at least tomorrow off and possibly Sunday as well. Today, however, seeing as I am taking the weekend off, I will work extra hard. Probably no Dragon Age at all, until tonight. The day will be spent with the editing.

LOOKIT! LOOKIT! Only thirty-three pages left!

That's right folks. This monstrosity that's been hanging over my head since February when the awesome K sent it back to me is almost done with this round of edits!

Then, it'll be rewriting (in August) and then... we'll see where I end up after that. I might shove it away and send it out for a round of edits (J? If I print and snail mail, you'd be willing?) that I won't need back before XMas....

ARGH decisions are hard. But for now? Dragon Age. Because I've earned some mage killing.
