A Productive Saturday

Saturday morning, I worked on my MS revision and polished up the 8th chapter. Now I am ready to roll into the 9th Chapter and strengthen it. Then I will back track and work on chapters 4, 6, & 7. The goal is to complete them by the end of the week, Friday afternoon. 

I feel I got deeper POV in the love scene this time. I am pleased with the results. Of course, another read through and line edit will occur when I complete the entire revision. 

I woke up this morning with two ideas for the black moments/resolution. I plopped them into the document notes section of my Scrivener program and will address them a week from Monday or on Tuesday. 

Not a bad week for accomplishing goals: I got my two contest entries out, and I managed to get serious work done on the revision. And I have my editor/agent appointments.

A Free Day

So I have a break from writing--for the weekend. I guess. I found myself pondering how to add about 10,000 words to the third draft. A scene here and there as well as stretching some out. I guess I'll never be "finished" at all. But I do need to let this book simmer a bit on the backburner so I can come back to it with a fresh eye.

Meanwhile, I am also mulling over my next book idea. I'm wondering if it's strong enough, funny enough and compelling enough a story. But I won't know till I start fleshing it out.

I am filling out the PRO application and signing up for RWA Conference this weekend. And I am also doing stuff around the house that I've let slide for weeks now. I just need to play a little.
