I'm even editing on a Saturday!
27 Mar 2010 05:09 pmToday's word count: 765
Total word count: 63081
Net word count: 748
My next editing session is going to be more painful. I think I can keep this scene, but I need to fix a lot so it doesn't break continuity or characterization. If I net positive after doing that, I'll call it a win.
Then once I finish this chapter, I have to go back to the beginning and work on the 3rd POV character's scenes. Which will also involve extensive rewriting. Though I have a few scenes I'll need to write entirely from scratch, which should help make the word count go UP.
I wish I had more time to get through the nonfiction book I'm reading for research on the setting of the 3rd POV character (and the bulk of the plot...) So that bit is going to be weak in this draft. Probably. As long as I keep vague, I should be ok? ^^;
(Maybe I'll read tomorrow, since I finished crocheting my shawl.)
