I finally started editing. I'm at 1 1/2 hours now. A pretty slow start, but not too bad, considering I was gone for the first 9 days of March...

Reached and passed the 50 % mark today (more than 25 hours of editing under my belt for March)! Yeah!!! And I have gotten about 2/3 into the book. Know I need to go back again, but for this round of editing, I have less than 1/3 left (not that I did all of the 2/3 in March LOL). My goal is to get through the whole thing. Having this site really helps!!!

I'm less than an hour behind because I made up for lost time by getting some sleep and actually being able to stay awake while I did the editing/writing. I understand the "rebel" thing someone mentioned here. I think I'm spending as much time adding writing to a slow build-up to a climax and ending as I am with reworking the piece with actual editing. Whatever I did today, I like it. I wish other days had been this way. Sleep makes a difference. I wish I got that refreshed-brain feeling more often instead of the sleep deprivation state.

Best of luck with the hour count. Keep trying to get bits here and there and bigger chunks when you get energized.

I noticed I had a new take on the story after taking a walk and letting my mind free associate to the images in nature instead of judging the "quality" of each thought or mental picture I had come into my mind. I got back to what interested me in the story in the first place and what had been my original focus. An article on EdMo I read yesterday talked about doing that. It helps to read these articles.

Well, this is getting too long. I think my brain woke up today. It will probably go off to zombie land again, but I'm enjoying being alert, however brief.

Ugh! I didn't get *any* editing done for four days because we spent the whole weekend working on stuff for my sister's wedding, and I'm realizing that I probably won't get any editing done this weekend, either. So much for hitting 75 hours this year. I just made it to fourteen hours about ten minutes ago.

Also, the hole that I thought I had to fill has turned into something more resembling a canyon, and the more I fill it, the more it seems to need. I think I'm going to end up writing half my book during EdMo, which may just make me a rebel.

Hope everyone else is doing a little better!

Me too, oddly enough. Think Geek just had a random shirt grab bag sale, so I settled on that as my 50 hour reward. I don't get to open it and find out which one I received until I hit 50, so I'm going to try to burn through my remaining hours before it arrives.

I'm always in apocalyptic mode, girlfriend ;) I cannot believe it's taken me til now to get through this pass, and to be honest, I'm still messing with the final chapter. But, that was still a chisel pass. I need some small screwdrivers or drill bits before I can use dental picks! HEE!

R U doing doomsday? Did you love the movie 2012? I liked it better with the Director and writer comments turned on. That was pretty fun stuff.

Yes, I am guilty. :) My editing so far has been pathetic... as a matter of fact, why am I here when I should be editing?!

curse you internets!

Dear Edmos,

It's me again. I know. Two emails in one day. I apologize up hill and down. However, I completely forgot to mention something soooo important Kerryn will take my head off with a sword if she realizes I forgot to put it in the email I just sent out. So, please, I beg you, if you should see her, ask her to spare my life. I promise I'll catch up on my editing tonight if you do! I swear!

I know. I know. You want to know what I forgot already. The link below, my fine friends, will take you to the latest article of the week! Yes, that's right! It will also take you to every other article we've had posted on our website throughout the years. If you're needed some extra pep that you're just not getting with the emails I'm sending out and the articles Kerryn's posting, this is the page for you! Click the link. And be happy.

And for whatever reason if the link doesn't work, the articles can be viewed right on the homepage as soon as they're posted.
