July 16, 2013: Some writing, some revising…

Writing Session 1: Lemon Cream
Author/Genre: TM/erotic romance
Words written: 495
Total Words: 10,631
Time Spent:  15 minutes (break)

 
Notes:
Well alrighty then. I almost want to continue on with the next scene,
but I’ll restrain myself. Other things to do, I suppose. But…yeah.
Yum! Now I want cheesecake…


Writing Session 2: Sprouted
Author/Genre: AW/horror
Words written: n/a
Total Words: n/a
Time Spent:  15 minutes (break)

 
Notes: I
ran through the edits on this quickly – good lord, my commas kind of
went insane in this for some reason! But I cut, rephrased, fixed wrong
words (I write all the time, and I still managed to use a “two” where it
should have been “too” – this is why we use editors, people!), and
moved some of the commas elsewhere. Now this story is all ready for
formatting and publication! Fabulous.


Writing Session 3: English Breakfast
Author/Genre: JD/romantic suspense
Words written: n/a
Total Words: n/a
Time Spent:  45 minutes (after work)

 
Notes:
Started working on the necessary revisions today, and I must say,
they’re going better than I expected. It’s surprisingly…focused, I
guess, to work on only one aspect of the story – in this case, the
romance – just fleshing out and fixing stuff where needed to make it
work. Who knew? This gives me hope for the much deeper revision that
THHG needs…


Writing Session 4: English Breakfast
Author/Genre: JD/romantic suspense
Words written: n/a
Total Words: n/a 
Time Spent:  60 minutes (late night)
 
Notes: Tonight’s
last session went slower, but that makes sense considering it’s later,
and I’m tired, and also because I’m rewriting and/or adding entire
paragraphs to the scenes. Below you’ll see a picture of my workspace –
see those note cards at the bottom with exclamation points in triangles?
Those are all scenes that need revisions of some sort. And that’s after
I cleared a third of them out earlier today.


In any case, I’m making good progress, and if I can keep at it tomorrow, I should finish these tomorrow night. Hooray! 

Now a couple comic books to wind down with, and bed. Bring on Wednesday!
