Fractious February - 500 words/day writing/editing - all genres welcome

That's 177 more words than when you got up. Sounds like a win to me!

Got notes back and am doing revisions (up to page 88) on the book coming out in July from Book View Cafe. Maybe I'm weird, but while I love doing revisions, I also find them utterly exhausting.

Marissa, thanks, you are so right. And you're not the only one exhausted by revisions. Typically after I turn in a book to my editor, my brain is mush for at least a month. Maybe longer. Hugs.

625 words tonight.

1,028 words on Oubliette.

Incremental progress on the chapters from me, not really worth reporting. I did bash out a draft query for kicks on the plane yesterday, so that's at least not a waste of time.

OSG - All progress is good, and awesome about the query draft.

Revision haze. That is all.

Hugs, Marissa & Liz!

252 words last night. More today I hope!

Liz - Storyline fixes count! Yay!

244 words last night. I've got a huge freelance project I'm working on, so I barely squeezed the words in. Better than nothing, though.

244 words--again, it's motion forward!

I actually adore revisions, once I get over the initial emotional shock and conviction that I must have written the worst. book. ever. But they're exhausting, I think because they involve more front-of-the-brain work while writing new stuff comes partly from the place I call "the girls in the basement" who seem to do the heavy lifting.

But I'm nearly done. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. And I haz a cover!

Liz - It's okay. You will make it shine.


107 words last night on Oubliette. Big job took most of my brainpower, unfortunately. 16k total for the month, 55k in draft — I'll take it!
