Tons. That’s how much I have to do. I need to write out the plot for Eve’s book, my first novel (and it shows), so I can figure out what needs to go and get it gone, so I can get it published. I need to look carefully at Donte’s book, add in some detail without padding it, and get his thinking just a little more clear. The fine, careful, think-for-five-minutes-before-changing-anything kind of editing. Only I’m not permitted to think for five minutes in a row. Someone or something will always need attention in that five minutes. Right up until I have to go to bed, because I still work for a living because I haven’t managed to get published yet. Argh.
And I desperately need to start writing Taro and Rafe. I’m falling head over heels for these guys, I’ve GOT to start writing! But there’s no plot, hardly, I can’t even keep their ages straight, Rafe is trying to take over and it’s Taro’s story, with Rafe as love interest, damn it, not star!! Argh!
As BJ said the other night, just a peek into reality for those who thought writers were sane…
