Closing on ten p.m., and I’ve had and enjoyed my weekend and a break from work. And, equally important, the story has had two days to sit on the hard drive while I did not think much about it.
From time to time I’d get pings from my subconscious/ Right Brain/ muse, so I have ideas of what I need to fix. But nothing firm yet.
- First step—read the whole story once straight through.
- Second step—revise the index cards (all eight of them) to reflect what I want to accomplish with each scene.
- Third step—rewrite the story to give each scene the biggest impact possible.
Ideally, I’ll have this all done in about two hours, since I generally turn into a pumpkin around midnight whether I have more to do or not. But considering I have to send this to my editor tomorrow morning, I’m up until I finish.
So… I’m starting.
You’re incredible, but you already knew that :). Good luck with the edit, though you’re probably done already.
It’s 12:46 Eastern time (9:46 Arizona Time) and I’m hoping you hit your self-imposed deadline. It’s much better than dealing with “bosses” when your out on your feet. But, somehow, I have the feeling that you did. I also hope your editor likes it.

Holly,
Best of luck getting everything done before turning into a pumpkin. I have no doubt that you will be successful. Looking forward to reading how it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed that all re-writes will be speedy, detailed, and all that you hope for.
