No Clo (Wri Mo?)

Nov 02, 2014 20:14

After last year's dedication to the Clovember cause, I fear my contributions this year may be slight. I'm knee-deep in overdue pre-publication edits, and am not wearing anything even slightly interesting. Yesterday I had a craving for navy, of all colours, and the only remotely notable thing I had on was oversized curly silver earrings. Today it's jeans and jumper while I hunch at the keyboard, frantically revising and rearranging. The editor wanted a major rewrite of the last two chapters of Part I, and while I've done those (in consultation with policemen, doctors and university lawbrokers), I now need to recalibrate nine or ten scenes in Part II to match up with the new version of events. And that's before I even get to the other big overhaul at the end of Part III, with which I was greatly helped by my fine writerly crew the Pendragons (whose name I'm delighted to say was my doing).

EUCH.

Still. The original deadline was last Thursday, but I called in advance to tell them my October just didn't let that happen. No later than Monday was my promise, and while the task looks vast from here I think I'll just manage that. Though I mightn't if I spend too much time on LJ, might I? Best get back to it. Last I heard the release date is going to be the eleventh of December.
