blairmacgHere's what I'll be revising over the next six months:
That's most of the text of one big story I broke into three novels. A couple hundred pages--not consecutive, but scattered about--are missing. I'd guess I pulled them to make edits during one of the crazier times of the last few years, got sidetracked, and misplaced the pages. I'm sure they are...somwhere. Oh, well.
I've started calling these my teething novels. I gnawed on all the pieces in order to discover my stories, my characters, and my quirks (good and bad). They need work.
Opening the dojo set back my schedule profoundly. I did almost zero writing and editing through September, and I suspect October will be devoured by Chant preparation. Since I'm finding it impossible to focus for the blocks of time I need to re-imagine that big stack of paper, I've been tweaking and expanding The Drunkard--my go-to when I just need to have a little fun. I got a couple thousand words added to it today.
In the meantime, I'm off to pick up Dev from work, then change for karate tonight, then dash home later because Dev will be babysitting both my nephews and likely at the end of patience by that time.
