This, my friends, is why it’s good to give the minions a break. Not nearly as many as they demand, no, but every now and then you’ve got to take a step back and let them play. I know how to fix that shopping scene, the one I wanted to cut though I thought was […]

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.

My progress today would be okay, if I were not on such a tight schedule. Every day I am farther behind! But I have to do it right. No point in charging forward just for the sake of charging forward. I wonder if the “reviewing every rewritten” scene thing could go, though. Since I’m quite

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.
