"It's only words and words are all I have.."
Gah! *falls down dead*
Today I spent 9 1/2 hours at the local coffeehouse, working on Doors. I am absolutely exhausted!
In all that time I got up twice to pee and order more coffee, that's it. (Yes, I'm one of those customers, the ones that sit for 9 1/2 hours and pay for two coffees and a burrito while hogging the best table. I'm sure they all hate me.) And yes, I admit I did take breaks to check my email and LJ and FB and Twitter... but mostly I sat and worked and worked and worked.
The story is by now almost 201.000 words so making it more compact is definitely not working. lol First I went just through the parts that are from Jensen's POV in Book 2, intending to work on Jared's later, but a couple of weeks ago I started over from the beginning of Book 1 and it's going much better. So far. I'm at page 71 of 388 (they keep getting fewer even if the wordcount is increasing because I'm deleting the extra spaces between the paragraphs as I go along) so it's slow going. Sometimes I feel like I'll never be done. Sometimes I feel like even if I do get done I'm not actually making it better, just different. I guess I'll find out... whenever.
Now I'm chilling, watching Brothers & Sisters and then later Glee. Hubby stocked up on candy and soda so I'm in for a very nice and relaxing evening, as I think I well deserve. And tomorrow morning... SPN!
