All work & no play
Makes Jill go stir-crazy.
I took tonight off from massive edits on my next Pocket book. It’s not that it sucks, it’s just that it needs to be better. I’m ripping out huge portions and layering in a brand new plot that I’m really pleased with, but it’s a lot of mind-breaking work in the meantime. I finished draft 3 last night and I’m about to start draft 4, which will entail rewriting about 7 or 8 key scenes. Then I’m doing yet another read-through to make sure everything is coherent and then doing the last cleanup round. If I’m still nervous about it at that point, I’ll fling it at my unsuspecting agent and cry on her shoulder. Or something.
In the meantime, I’m going to be kind of loosey-goosey and mostly not here until I get it done. Maybe end of January? Maybe earlier if I’m lucky? (Please, pleeeease let me be lucky.)
