Accountability, author's timecard, word count written, feeling lonely out there?
Thrythlind:
hmm, I don't keep a good word count....
Wrote about 2.5k yesterday for a $15 "write me a fanfiction about the Simpsons women being hungry" commission
Wrote some on my Bystander novel
Last project that I finished was Zodiacs, which came to two books at about 120k words over three months while working as a teacher.
And been writing a bit of fanfic but currently slowed down
meg_evonne:
Revision, revision, revision. I'm now about 2/3s of the way through the revision from 3rd close to 1st POV. I hadn't touched it the entire time I was at a writer's camp. End result?
I need to finish the POV shift. It is far superior to the 3rd close POV. THEN as a result of my two weeks working on revision concepts--I now have to revise for two areas of concern to spiff up from what I learned. 1. A much harder revision on anything that is only slightly off cliche. I can do better. Then 2. I want to pinpoint areas where I can have my Main Character react with more emotion and interior dialog to warm her up even more...
Thank God, that offer by the editor to review my full manuscript did not have a time limit on it. I know that she would prefer the new effort that I'm going to put into it.
Finally, since I read aloud well, one suggestion was to have someone else read it for me on tape so I can hear where they are stumbling over the small glitches. My poor son. But he owes me! :-)
