Last week was my "creative" week [no need to inquire further] and I spent lots of time knitting away at three potholders [red, green, and white for Stu's mom], a scarf [not enough yarn, I have to rip it out and make a purse], and a clutch [black with rainbow trim], while also working on my Secrets Journal and Violet's Monster: The First Book revisions.
Whew.
Revisions are...going. I'm on page 36 of a second draft and I have to say I like this version a lot better, even if I know what parts I'm going to have to expand in later revisions. I've got notes on what I need to know, what I need to put in, and stuff I want to put in, so hopefully, I will have a decent-sized manuscript by Friday. I've got several hours to type today and possibly bits and pieces throughout the day tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday while I'm at work. I'm wondering if I'll have to end up writing most nights as well.
This is like pulling teeth. Sometimes the words just flow and I go along alright for a few pages and then I get distracted or I think, "This isn't working," or I go up to check something and end up re-reading a different section and adding in a few more sentences. Agh!
But hopefully it will get done [if I would quit blogging it might] and I will have a nice set of notes awaiting me after the New Year.
Cheers!
