Time to Resume Editing
Or, more correctly, revision. FM is having an Edit Marathon this weekend, and I figure it’s a good time to get that solid kick in the seat of the pants I’ve been needing.
I shouldn’t be doing too much to this, and I’m still adding notes to add Jeff’s siblings on the next revision (I hate it when they show up half way through the book–why didn’t he mention them months ago? And I thought he was such a responsible boy.)
I’m beginning to get anxious to work on new material, but I have words to scrap. I’m on page 50 of 166 (began on 36 today). I’ll keep thinking on the new material to come as I refresh my memory on the old stuff. It’ll work out. I’ve slashed more than 3000 words already, and I believe I’ll be slashing many more while making notes to add fresh ones in their place.
