DSED Day 18: Can I Just Skip to the End?

So even after my big decision, I’m finding very little motivation to move on with the editing. If you had any idea how many times I’ve read these scenes, edited, fixed, poked… I’m seriously pondering cutting about 5K simply because I don’t want to read it again. Even though I still think it’s good. Yeah. […]

DSED Day 18: Sanity Rears its Ugly Head

I need to come to a decision. My goal for the Doomy Summer of Editing DOOM is not working out. Mad goals are fun, but when I’m sacrificing quality for crazy, that’s a problem. Especially when it’s making me stressed and miserable. The problem isn’t my procrastinating–that’s a symptom. The fact is that when dealing

Day Fourteen: Progress!

I think I made some fifteen pages of forward progress today. At last. That’s actually an awful lot, with the level of rewriting needed. I figure I cut about twenty-five pages, repurposed five, and entirely rewrote ten. For one day, that’s a lot. Now, however, I must fall over. Oh! Learned today–how to print screen
