If you clicked on this blog post in order to tell me you want to stab me through the heart with a citrus zester for using the word funner...cool! I'll be sure to use more bad grammar in the future if it gets me more readers.
I'm back to revisions on my book, after a break for Thanksgiving and then to write a short story. I can tell when I really like a book I'm working on, because it's all I think about. I love the changes I'm making, and I think the book is getting stronger as a result. Another thing I'm doing is making a timeline in Excel. I'm having to re-read the entire book and make notes of what happens on what days. It's actually relevant for me to know this, even if the reader doesn't.
Gotta remember to get another box of paper from CostCo. Once I finish these notes and then rewrite chapter one--again! This will be the fourth complete rewrite of the first chapter--then I'll print up the entire book a chapter or two at a time and give it another line edit. The stuff that's already been line edited half a dozen times shouldn't change much, but the new stuff will probably look like a Bic factory exploded on it when I get done. I hope those edits won't take more than a month.
Looking forward to a weekend of working on my book and playing The Witcher, and Resident Evil 4.
