I'm doing a bunch of writing--came up with a new UF series even though the first few stories will be short stories.
I didn't keep count but working on two novels--not sure if they be UF, paranormal or both--working on revising a third which is kinda, sort of like Seanan McGuire's. I hope to have it all revised by the end of June and some of it off to a reader. Then I'll either try the regular way or publishing or e-publishing.
Working on revising a story for a contest and thinking of a new story idea since I find myself with no new story to work on at the moment.

I think doing this edit is actually harder than writing the damn thing to begin with. Doesn't help that I am rolling on Dayquil and what feels like Small Pox - but trying to go back and edit sections of my tome while trying to remember what has and has not yet happened in the story as I go along. So I edit chapter three with quotes from Character A, only to realize they died in Chapter 1. Or adding in character's wielding MacGuffin A (prop) in chapter 1 and realize that its not even built until Chapter 10. That sort of thing.
Damn you, Small Pox. Damn you.
cenwolfgirl:
ooh that is not so ggod
good luck with that
i don't edit untill the story is finished at least a rough draft
other wise i think that would proberly happen to me a lot
it is bad enough editing one book wile writing another that folows on from it ]why do we try and make life so complicated for our selves?

Never had small pox but I have been on cold medication while trying to write. It usually works out okay though. But I have problems like that without Dayquil. I started listing all my characters and sometimes I think I need to list what scenes I've done. On the book I am revising I'm finding scenes changed later in the story or I included two descriptions of something that needed just one. It will al come together even if later then you would have liked.

You should be happy with yourself. Congrats. I didn't read back very far can I ask how long it is? But you should show it to someone, that is how you get feedback. And is one way writers can stick together by helping each other.
