Back to Editing

I made progress! Eleven pages edited tonight, before my brain wandered off into No-Minds-Land. Of course, seven of those pages I just crossed off.

whoa…

I just dropped in on the fanfic site where I started.ย  I haven’t been there in a while.ย  When their rating system turned discriminatory (all m/m fics must be rated X, even with no sex or even a kiss.ย  No, I’m not kidding.) I took down everything but the incomplete stories, and I explained why

Pushing

I hate when it’s like this.ย  When I’m pushing and pushing and not getting much of anywhere. Tonight I wrote…over 700 words, I think.ย  Not so bad for a work night, but I struggled so hard for those words… I’m starting to get worried.ย  I followed a lot of Holly Lisle’s suggestions.ย  Maybe too many?ย
