a moment’s rest

But only a moment… I’ve still got plenty of sewing to do on what I’ve nicknamed ‘the ugly shirt’. It gets better looking the more I work on it, but that’s not saying much. I’m hoping that as I continue to manipulate its ugliness, it’ll get prettier somehow. It’s worked so far…

I had to re-chapterize CR today. Too many chapters were on the longer side of tolerable so I hacked them up. I haven’t gone through the whole manuscript yet or I’d give an official count of how many chapters there were versus how many there are now.

All I can really say is that the editing process is coming along nicely. I’m at a part that needs heavy editing which will graduate to heavy rewriting, but I’m only at the ramp up process right now. I’m still at the stage where I’m thinking about it while sewing buttons onto the ugly shirt.

Tomorrow, the fireworks will begin.

Tomorrow, I’ll know for sure what the heck this chapter and the three or four following it really need.

Tomorrow, I’ll start mercilessly hacking, slashing and tweaking until my eyeballs pop out of my head.

Why tomorrow? Because if I do it now, I’ll be interrupted by dinner and yoga class…and interruptions are bad…very, very bad.
