So. Stayed home from work today and took medicine and slept a lot. And eventually I started writing. 1500 words later, Not Gay is at 4,770. The goal is 5K. I think I can get it there.
Also worked on my alligator story (an insane project for my favorite group of nutcases outside my family) a very little bit. It’s going to be cute and simple, looks like, and done quickly, I hope.
I’m pondering setting aside the rest of my goals for the week. I’ve decided that while I’d like to write Eve’s Basic training story,which WAS my plan for NaNoPubYe‘s Fall Warm-Up (9/23-10/6) , I’m a lot more interested in editing my second novel (Donte and Selene) and having TWO ready to send out. (Especially as I had a great idea for strengthening the climax of Taro [oh, no, I don’t recall saying I wouldn’t revise Taro until he’d been rejected three times. Are you sure that was me?] which would mean I’d only have ONE ready to send out for a while.)
/parenthetical remarks–briefly
So I’m thinking edit and add 25K (Donte is only 58K) in two weeks. That means reading through it NOW and making a lot of decisions on what I’m doing with it.
I can do it. I think. But it’d sure be easier just to write 25,000 new words in a row…
On the other hand (does that make three hands?) what’s life without a challenge?
