so maybe the poke helped? Ha!
OK, up to page 197 of the 2nd editor requested revisions (out of 274 pages), but there is a fairly substantial rearrangement of material. I expect a slow down as I work with that...
moon:

Consider yourself poked! And something is wrong talking to imaginary people? Since when? Is that why they stare at me at Starbucks?
Yeah! Ulfgeir! Doing a single writer's stadium wave from kitchen table. Best luck on sticking to it. Ain't that the truth, but I do enjoy editing too. I wish I could figure out how to do both--something new while editing something old. I either 1. don't have time or 2. I'm too inflexible... It's good to have you post again, my friend! And how great to get second on your nod to the theme! Very exciting. I've a goal of getting into SFWA someday, but I've not proven to be a short story person or a dedicated regular submission-type person. We'll see. Someday...

I love the feeling that comes with fixing a scene that didn't quite work... figuring out what the hitch or burr was, and nailing it down... but the spellchecks/read-throughs and such are too damn much like work. ;) Still, it's the only way to get from A to B. Slog on, MacDuffy!

So, in the same vein as PaynesGrey above...
Can I count it as writing when I spent my writing time cutting up print copies and reorganizing like a pre-schooler? I needed to take about 500 words and relocate it earlier in the manuscript. I simply couldn't see it, or more likely I needed to feel it and the pages, to get the job done...
Either way, I'm counting it as successful writing time since I worked out the problem. Now to doing it on the computer and re-writing the transitions tonight or tomorrow morning.
