Thanksgiving was a wonderful time. We ate, talked and played games. Spectacular.
I even stayed until 8:30, which was two hours past what I had planned on. It was all good. I felt refreshed and renewed afterwards. Good times, good times.
We, as a family, talked to two of our children yesterday. They're a good sixteen hour drive away so we don't see them often. It was good to talk to them. We're planning on Skyping with them both at some point this weekend.
Yesterday was a light writing day. I didn't quite get to 5k. I sat down to write after we got home and I just didn't have it in me. I'm thinking there's a week off coming next Thursday. Or, a scaled down version of a writing work day. I need to start editing Part 2. At first I thought I'd go through one chapter a day--just comb through it slowly and catch all the errors that four re-throughs by myself and my editor didn't catch. Be methodical. Then I realized that would have me publishing sometime in September and that's too far out. I settled on two chapters a day. That's gets us back to the May-June time span.
Last night and this morning, I've been thinking about Part 3. It's a mess, they way I've started rewriting it. A disaster. Scenes are everywhere. Bluh. I'm playing with the idea of starting the rewrite over. I don't know. I don't like the sporadic-ness.
Well, I should do something. Maybe I'll get out the index cards and the markers. I'm liking that idea. I've already met my minimum and aim goals (150k and 175k). Maybe a (partial) day of plotting will help the rest of the last week go better.
And as I sit here thinking about it, my brain is screaming at me about my word count. Lol..
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
