Happy Thursday, everybody.
Like I was thinking yesterday, not much writing got done. I did get all my beta's books autographed and ready to either get into the mail or deliver. I'm hoping to have all of them taken care of by the end of Saturday.
I did get the next chapter of part 2 set up yesterday. It's the one that has developed from Tuesdays rewrite. I also decided one of the chapters I have to rewrite still doesn't actually need to be in the book, so it's gone into the old drafts pile. It's there if I need it for reference if I decide I need to put that scene back in, but I don't think it's necessary.
I spent the morning going to the grocery stores. There's another flag football game this afternoon. This evening doesn't seem to be too busy, so I hope I can get that chapter done, the one I set up last night. Maybe I'll even get to another one. That would be nice. Looking at it right now, there's six more that I need to finish. Once that's done, I'll print out copies and get them to my alphas. Then I'll be ready to dig into NaNo on the 1st!
I'll check in with you tomorrow!

September 2, 2016
Part one has been out to betas since the beginning of August. Last week I compiled the comments and went over them with my editor. Now, it's at the proofreader.
To keep myself occupied, I've been working on the fourth draft of part two. I've been struggling to work on it. I have to make myself do it. There are parts where I'm fine, but there are parts where I struggle.
I have learned with part one that when I feel that way about a chapter, I need to either get rid of the chapter all together or I need to look at it from a different point of view. Sometimes, I throw out what I have and start over.
I'm going to shuffle things around. Right now, I feel like that will help, but you just never know. Shifting chapters around isn't just a cut and paste job, either. You have to change reactions of different characters in subsequent chapters and sometimes, some chapters completely go away. It quite an undertaking. Fortunately, I save every draft I've written so I can go back to a previous one if the change doesn't work.
All I can to do is change it and see if it works, I guess.
Well, enough bellyaching, time to dive in!
