So my friend and co-worker, Graham, brought in some pretty darn superb brownies made from one of the greatest substances on earth--beer! And of course, they were all gone by the time I found out he brought them. Rly? I am so thoroughly disappointed. Graham will never hear the end of it until he brings more in and specifically has one available with my name on it. Don't these look luscious???
I got an uber-ton (*loves inventing words*) of work done on my revisions. My first WIP has exploded from around 73,000 originally for my first draft to over 83,000 now and still growing. Note to self and any others peeps in revision: make sure your revisions don't contradict anything later in the novel. Yep, I added a scene that I love but I just realized it changes something down the road. Hm, decisions, decisions. Must fix this!

I found it very odd that my current Work gained a couple of hundred words during the second round of editing, instead of losing a couple hundred words.
ReplyDeleteBut as they say, if you add on to a particular chapter in order for the rest of the manuscript to make sense, then editing in reverse is always a good thing.
Thanks for mentioning tomorrow's Top 10 TV Shows and the Great Blogging Experiment!!
