So much to do and so little time to do it! I still haven’t bought a single piece of soapstone, and although I bought a sewing machine in February, it is still in the box. However, I finally bought paints, brushes and canvas boards, to go with the easel I build in January. And, so far, I have made 7 paintings! Loving it! But the short fiction has suffered as a result…sigh. I get my novel back from my beta readers on Tuesday, so back to writing, then!
Edits going well
I wanted to round out one element with a subplot which will bring the novel up to 90,000. However, once I really get into revision, that may go shorter–or longer–but not by much.
Novel Done!
It’s only 80,000 words, and I have some ideas for a bit of expansion in the revision.
75,000 words and Chapter 13done
Need I say more? The end is looming!
A Great Four Days
Revised Chapter 10, and wrote Chapter 11 AND 12, and revised both. Also did a first pass at the revisions for my short story, using the critiques of my writers’ group from last week. Overall, very productive. Can’t wait to start chapter 13 – maybe as early as today (though I have regular life back, as well). This is a short novel, only 80,000 words, so the home stretch is in sight!
