Visitors are wonderful, wonderful things. They provide company and support, practical help and even babysitting. I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
But they aren’t great for editing, so having gone into this last couple of weeks a bit ahead, I’m now slightly behind: 41.5 chapters down, when I should be at 43. I’m hoping to make it up to 42 and I’m still pleased with the progress. I’ve got a month left of this full-scale rewrite to go and hopefully I’ll finish it on time…
Wish me luck!
Good luck! What are you editing? Is it your book or is this your day job?
Thanks, Paul. It’s my first ever novel-length story. I explained the full plan here, if you’re interested: https://elmowrites.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/editing-phoenix-fire-the-plan/
Nodding my noodle here…I’m doing the same. Visitors are wonderful, but… 🙂
