Hmmmm

Ok, so yesterday's task was to draft chapter 19, and edit/rewrite the prologue, and chapters 1, 2 & 3.

Didn't quite go to plan.

Not for lack of trying I should add!  Yesterday I worked from 9 to 5, with a few breaks, and managed to edit the prologue and the first two chapters.  I'm really happy with both, and not planning on changing either now until after it's been sent out to an agent, but boy was it hard work!

Hehe yeah I keep telling you how hard it is.  Probably because I don't think anyone believes me.

Yesterday by 5.30pm when I shut down the PC and went to my parents, my eyes were sire, head ached and I was so tired.  Editing really pushes your brain into high gear!  Analysis in every word. With all the notes from Sweden I thought it would be easier, but I think it just focussed me more on what I was trying to say.

A wise man (Gentle Ben) said "take your weekends off" something I've not done these last few weeks. I was planning on doing that from now on, but I think I might make today an exception just to catch up.  I'm also thinking that I can't edit and write new chapters in the same day.  The mental process is different; free flowing writing and deep analytical thought.

So my task for the end of the weekend: edit chapters 3 & 4.  The Monday write chapters 19 & 20.

Have a great weekend all.
