Sunday 10 April 2011

I swore I wouldn't post on Sunday till this is done, but...

I just need to share my latest news about revisions - I finally got under 100k!!! My goal is 95k, and at the moment I'm at about 98k. I am so cloooose! Soon enough I will be done with my 3rd draft, and will be onto the revisions for draft 4. Once those are done, it'll be print-out and paper edit time. Then it will be beta-edit time. :)

I think once I'm done with draft 3 though, I'm going to take a look at my other goals on the list and see if I can't get some of those struck off. Like finishing off STORM - it's so close to being finished! And I doubt I'll ever try to publish it, but I still want it finished!

Anyway...now let's return to radio silence, aaaaahhh blessed silence. This A-Z thing really is crazy!!!

Time for me to go visit some new blogs.

  10. Oh congrats! So awesome to meet a writing goal (or almost) and I've heard that we should celebrate completing each draft. I'm currently working on a draft 4 and met my goal for today, which inspired a new goal for today. Off to it, then...

  12. Yayyy Trisha! Congrats, you are soooo close! :) Revisions can be a pain in the butt sometimes but once you have accomplished a goal like this (or are near so) it makes everything worth it.

    Also, I have finally added a LinkyTool list to my "Inanimation" blogfest so feel free to add in your blog when you have the time!
