Writing–just a little bit–has occurred. I’m doing a Consistency Challenge on one of my forums. I gotta write every day. But since I’m doing the editing challenge on another forum, the wordcount goal is only 100.
Better’n nothing. Especially as I don’t stop at 100 pretty much ever.
I got nearly three hours of work in at school today, getting stuff put away.
I posted a chapter of Shades almost two months after the last update.
And I worked on the editing. Day one, June first, I dug up my themes and wrote a one-line description and a blurb.
I’d post it, but then you’d know my ending. I’d hate to spoil it for you, so here’s only the first paragraph. And I didn’t even edit out my whining (okay, two paragraphs–I love that second paragraph!) (BTW, the paragraphs aren’t meant to be together. That’s why some info is repeated.)
Paragraph. Barghle. I hate this. ‘kay. Main characters–Joss, Paige, Zeke. Joss is the redheaded guard who goes his own way. Paige is the teen daughter of Joss’ one-night-stand, forced to rely on Joss when her father is killed. Zeke is the suave Heir of Cayden, one of the most powerful Tribes on the world known as Kari’s Star. He’s also face-first in love with Joss, and not nearly so suave around the redhead.
When Joss’ one-night-stand is executed in his own living room, Joss has to move fast to keep the same from happening to him–or his lover’s teenage daughter. But saving the girl isn’t enough–Paige has nowhere to go. Joss takes her to his own boss, Rukya, who is trying to change the world, to make such mob-style executions a part of the past. Against Joss’ will, Rukya involves Paige in politics. When Rukya’s plans go sour, Joss and Paige are on the run again, this time with Zeke, heir to Tribe Cayden and ardent admirer of Joss.
bwahahaha…
Ahem. Sorry. Sometimes it just gets the better of me, and mine is an evil laugh.
Editing. Yes.
Today, around doing the other stuff (did I mention grocery shopping? Did that too) I finished a read-through of the novel and broke it into scenes. I have to put in page breaks between the scenes to make myself stop and look at each one. Then I printed it out. 174 lovely pages.
Tomorrow (all right, when I am next up today, as it is after midnight) I shall take my red pen to the MS and Lo! it will look like the shower scene from Psycho.
Bwahahaha…
