I did continue editing chapters 1 and 2 a bit, but I also got stuck into writing some more of chapter 3. I think a lot of the cutting and revising I did in the earlier chapters has helped chapter 3 to flow a lot easier. Since I'd been subconsciously turning over various plot points in my mind, when I came to starting on the new section, I found that I was able to just barrel along through several scenes instead of my usual method of agonising over every sentence. I'm glad that I've at least got something written though; as the saying goes, you can't fix a blank page. Chapter 3 is about half finished now, so hopefully I can get most of it done by the next check-in.
As far as taking notes on journals for my thesis goes; didn't get any done on Monday, but I met my daily goal both yesterday and today.
No, Judgemental Dog. It is not.Check out the progress of other ROW80ers here.
Glad you were able to barrel along! Funny how every part of writing can have an impact on something else. For me, I find it easier to work on a rough draft and edit it later - I get page fright when I have to think about every sentence as I'm typing it. :)
ReplyDeleteYour judgmental dog reminds me of my husband asking the same questions. Glad you are making progress.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Robin. JD is asking the same questions I hear. My answer is still the same as yours...lol.
ReplyDeleteKeep at it, keep at it, keep at it. Always remember you're further along than the guy still talking about the great book he'll one day write. Hope chap3 is done by next update.
