Snuck in another 1% during the retreat. Now I'm back and after I do a little co-plotting (which honestly might take all night) and deal with my shiny new Beta Project entries I'll be back to editing. Tomorrow and Monday should be pretty productive.
I knocked out a full 10% today, which would be a positive sign for my speed if I hadn't cut out the biggest chunk of anything I plan to cut in that section. A good half of today's percentage came from that cut. But I have to go by the Kindle %, or else I have no way to keep track.
A percent is a percent?
Except when it's not
I had the day off, and even though part of it was spent worrying over my mother's surgery (she's 93, but came through it like a champ, thank God), I was still able to edit out just over 371 words in my MS. That means I've cut about 2770 words. I'm a little more than halfway through and am now worrying that I'm going to have to go back in after I'm finished to cut major hunks out. Arrrrr...
BTW, I wrote this novel in a month. You wouldn't think that it would be hard to rewrite 80% of it in the same amount of time.
Welcome, EMaree (I've always loved your screen name; I like to say it out loud ).
Only a measly 140 words today. Housework was screaming for attention, and for once I listened.
Managed to power through the bulk of my scene outline yesterday. THINGS ARE COMING TOGETHER yeessssss. *gleeful laugh*
Things are also... not quite fitting... but shush, subconscious, we'll think on those issues another time.
