Way to whip out some last minute editing for the week (and round)!

I reached a lull in my novella (endings always do that to me) so rather than gut it out, I forced myself to switch to editing.

You have to understand that I am very much a one-track minded gal.  When I’m in write mode, I only want to write.  The same is true for editing.  The transitions are my sticking points.

All day yesterday, I worked on nothing but editing my YA novel. //begin braggadocio A good part of my enthusiasm derives from my love of my creation.  I think this is my best-written novel to date.  (And it only took me four and a half prior attempts… haha  #slowlearner) Once I started working on it, it was a joy to bring out and use the finer brushes.  //end braggadocio

When I wasn’t editing or taking a break on the web, I was trying to figure out Scrivener (since my YA MS is the guinea pig).  My poor beta has an ill-compiled manuscript as of last night, but all the words are there even if the chaptering is a bit wonky.

My cumulative statistics are on my ROW80-3 page.

And yet another week has begun with all writing and no editing.  Glerg.  Not my plan but I’m going where the inspiration directs, at least until I get this 25k – 30k novella done. I just crested 20k so hopefully soon I can get back to the nitty gritty business of, gulp, editing.
