As far as I can tell, the procedure went very well. My doctor was quite enthused during the procedure. And as laser surgeries go, mine was longer than many–37 seconds on the right eye; 34 seconds on the left eye. Things are still blurry, put I’m not wearing glasses, and … Continue reading →
I was going to say it was captured, but it could wriggle away, so I’m approaching it with caution. 163 line items (not chapters–that looks like it will be 30). Of course, since I found numerous continuity issues and a definite need for rearranging, I’m starting back at 0 of … Continue reading →
Self: For future reference, do NOT stop in the middle of a thought and abandon your first draft material for the day. It will drive you nuts during revisions. Note to readers: I have not “lost” any material where it disappears in the text. I never had it to lose. … Continue reading →
Too bad Twilight doesn’t have it (and I think this needs a different name, too, but that’s for another day). I have a lot of cutting and pasting waiting for me as I sift this timeline. Lest you think I’m not happy about this, I think the parts of revision … Continue reading →
My two main protags on in an office beginning a conversation, and the words end. How did this happen? Did they get deleted somewhere? I figured that was it. When I knitted the individual daily files into one big file, the end of one file got cut off. No problem. … Continue reading →
As you can see, I’m not performing a clear-cut operation here. Mostly, I’m doing a little thinning. I cut a few words I really enjoyed tonight, but they don’t fit for the direction things need to go. I’m trying to take some of the bolder items and shift them to … Continue reading →
Not bad. I’m getting a few words knocked out each night. I managed to cut a few more words tonight, but I was in a section devoted to Charlie and Harold. Charlie and Harold are what I love about this book, so they are staying. The next section deals with … Continue reading →
For some reason, I thought I might come away from this appointment nervous about Monday. Instead, I came away psyched and anxious for the procedure. They spent most of the time discussing the risks of the various procedures but mostly comparing and contrasting PRK and LASIK. Since I’d already done … Continue reading →
I’m nearly one-third complete. I deleted a few things tonight. Added a few others–most additions were clarifying Geek chat sessions. I possibly should have deleted some other stuff tonight, but I couldn’t tell if I was just tired of reading it or if it needed to go, so I’ll hold … Continue reading →
Hey! I’m supposed to be cutting words! Ah well. I had a few minutes tonight, so I worked a few more pages in Twilight revisions. I’m liking this better as I work on it. Maybe two or three more times through, and I’ll have it scrubbed and presentable. Yeah, now … Continue reading →
