zhie | damn... i feel all... something or other

Today was officially an edit day

I went to Borders with Monty and Bookmaven to edit

I came home and turned on the computer to edit

I researched how to kill a horse... made me kind of sad...

I opened the binder to edit

I read to Mark

We discussed talking, disembodied heads

My novel is so full of angst, even I am surprised

This month, officially, 13+ hours spent on edits; just over 25% to the 50 hour mark

The first four chapters are done as far as I am concerned; I have only read aloud the first three, and Mark found questionable things in each that were all fixed

When I finished last year, my nano count was 50,140. I expected by now, I would be up to 60K easily.

I'm at 50,389.

This edit crap is hard. I am cutting entire sentences out. It is slightly frustrating.

But Bookmaven is correct. I may not be adding quantity, but I am improving quality.

I am sure there are other important things happening that I should be archiving, but honestly, every time I go back to this novel, I get swallowed up into this world...

And I'm hoping that's a good thing
