Productive Saturday

[olmue]

Three scenes added.
Two different pairs of chapters combined and/or rearranged.
4000 words deleted.
Football scenes sent off for expert opinion.
It's amazing what an hour of uninterrupted planning (ie, waiting for DD at a swim party) can do for you. Plus an afternoon when you are not the Only Responsible Adult around.
I think my book is shorter than DH's now. Yay! (His is academic research--we are both trying to finish before school lets out.)
I think I have the bones now. If I do, then it's mostly a matter of tidying up the text on the page (as opposed to moving things around and large changes).
I'm exhausted and ready to take a break tomorrow. My house is messy and I need to practice the organ. But today was definitely productive!

Great to have such a productive day! If you think you have the bones, then you probably do.

Onward!

I hope so! I'd like to finish it before I'm sick of it. :)

I, too, had a productive Saturday (and Sunday to boot!).

I love it when I'm not the only Responsible Adult around too. I managed to convince my hubby to let me keep writing after the kids got up from their naps, and managed four hours each day of writing time. Heaven!

Enjoy taking a break from it, and then getting stuck back into it again! ;o)

Hooray!

Sounds wonderful! I haven't written in too long, and my fingers are getting twitchy ;)

Then write for 15 minutes, and two hours later you may still be writing.

Congrats on getting so much done. I'm guessing your book should DEFINITELY be shorter than your husband's! :)

I think we're in a race to delete as much as possible... :O
