Since I like to have candles burning when I’m writing at home, I decided to have a candle pic for this entry. I’m a bit of a fan of the Better Homes & Gardens scented candles, myself.
To the stats for this week:
0+ words written.
Days writing: 0 out of 7.
Days revising: 7 out of 7 for 455 total minutes.
Daily writing goals met (500+ words or 30 minutes of revisions): 6 out of 7 days.
So, it’s obvious that this was a heavy revision week. Actually, it might be the most time that I have ever revised during a week since I began tracking my word counts last year.
I actually wound up doing a quick proofreading revision of The Holy Fool and, as I promised last week, got started on the first revision of The American Nine. In the latter case, I know people often recommend that you let a book sit after you finish a first draft. However, I consider this to be a “rough revision,” not intended for me to consider any major changes or anything of that nature. The only item this will cover trying to eliminate needless words, reducing word count as much as possible, and tying up continuity.
So, a few Random Notes:
- It is the middle of spring break for me, so I am hoping to do some more posting than normal. I had planned on posting a short story I’d done years back, but apparently scheduled it for this week rather than the last. I’m hoping for at least two midweek blog posts this week and another midweek post next week.
- Today I’ll get posts set up for the Facebook and Twitter feeds and some more revising done.
- As for publishing news, nothing on that front. Yet.
That’s it for now; I’ll write more later.
