It's been a long day. L-O-N-G. But I managed a solid 45 minutes of editing in Fated, since I'm determined to send off a chapter to my sweet little critique buddy Gwoe tonight. And I reached a micro-epiphany in the midst of those edits; it's wonderful! But it means completely rearranging a LOT of stuff I thought was already ready. Still, slow-and-steady is the name of my new game. I'm absolutely DONE with rushing through a story so I can get to The Thrill of the Query. I am doing this one right.
Oh! Yay! The car is here!! Have a beautiful weekend everyone! I will try VERY HARD to do the Lovefest Blogfest whatever-the-heck-the-fest is going on for Valentine's Day! Byeee!!!!!

That's great that you squeezed some editing in. I'm very impressed you wrote this all on your BlackBerry:)
ReplyDeleteHow on earth can you stand all that tedious typing for such a long post with such little keys? You are too cool! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your manuscript! I am just going through the same thing now. I was just about done with the story when I changed a few things and now I have to go back and redo almost everything. SIGH. Oh well, lol. If it means a better story in the end it's worth it :)
ReplyDelete*sigh* I'm done with that mess, too. It's too stressful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck hun! I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI love and hate micro-epiphanies because it's daunting at first and yet rewarding when they're done.
ReplyDeleteI'm a horrible texter so I'm amazed that you can do this mobile blogging so well!
Good luck on your edits and snatching more moments of time.
ReplyDeleteEditing never ends. I was thinking about my WIP and characterization last night--I have a long way to go. But doesn't it say something when we're able to recognize the faults within our own writing? I sure hope it does. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDelete"The Thrill of the Query." Hang onto that optimism.
ReplyDeleteI, too am in awe of your teeny tiny typing skills. Maybe you are a fairy after all.
I'm with you on that one. I want to go back to writing a story instead of the MS...
ReplyDeleteciao io seguo il tuo blog se ricambi mi fa piacere

You're so funny...thrill of the query...hehe. If I'd known just how scary and demoralizing the querying process was before I went into it, I would not have rushed it at all. But I totally get this. You just want to be in the game, not standing at the sidelines. It's definitely not a process to rush, though, and I learned this the absolute worst possible way. Oy, thankfully, I only queried 10 people with my pathetic, suck-dog manuscript before realizing how bloody awful it was. I just hope by the time I get back into querying, the game isn't OVAH. The best of luck to you, m'dear. I know you're going to be crazy successful.
ReplyDeleteAnd, um, on a blackberry? Seriously? You are superwoman. I'm convinced. I really hope we can meet up some day so you can let me borrow your cape.
