I've been revising every day except Sunday, up to p. 106 now. I'm also really happy with how my ideas for my next two projects are developing.

It's fun when it's a scene or chapter you've been looking forward to writing I'm up to p. 117 in revising Solaris. I've reached the end of the actual story ;D now I need to decide how much of the other stuff to include. There's a whole bunch of epilogue stuff, and a subplot with Naru's mom I stuck on at the end that needs to get broken up and put in the right places in the story. I'm probably going to end up deleting most of these last 40 pages.

I put in a big push yesterday and today and finished revising Solaris! ;D it helped that I ended up deleting a whole bunch of stuff from the epilogues, including the whole third one It's going to need at least one more revision, possibly two, but it's a LOT better now than it was!

revised 10 pages of Lost Book, wrote 1026 words of Canyons. It wasn't easy, I had a busy day today and stayed up way later than I should have, but I got it done.

good job! keep plugging away, you'll get there. you said above you'd been looking forward to this chapter, why is that? revised another 10 pages of Lost Book, wrote 1150 words of Canyons. It was pretty easy, I'd been playing the scene out in my mind since last night.

good job! keep plugging away, you'll get there. you said above you'd been looking forward to this chapter, why is that? You see, this is where Yugi's battle with Marik begins to really become intense with Marik being ruthless and all, which will be fun for me to write about and play around with as I figure out which parts I will add twists to. Managed to write 555 words today.

11 pages of revising Lost Book, 1152 words (approx., the program also counted some quick notes I made on some names) on Canyons. I took yesterday off from writing, but I made three scrapbook layouts, which was great because I hadn't scrapbooked in three months!

Managed to write 555 words today. I liked the first few seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh (my younger son was a big fan at the time and really into the card game). A lot of depth, a lot of good story material there. My personal favorite, though, is the first story arc, with Pegasus. He was so evil, but all he really wanted was to be with his dead wife again gotta love that.

Yeah, Pegasus was pretty evil back then..rather unbecoming of him to be that way to be honest but at least his reasons for it shows that he wasn't really a bad guy after all and he is actually quite an honorable person when being good. Finally finished the chapter, with 312 words yesterday and 2108 today..it just needs proofreading.

10 pages of revision on Lost Book, and wrote 1471 words for Canyons.
Big word count day! Are you posting this fic as you go along, or waiting till it's all done?

Post by *~MistressKeren~* on Jul 27, 2011 7:36:01 GMT -5
I post as I go along...I find that when I used to try and wait until it is all done, it takes so long that I get impatient and I am that anxious to show it off. In editing the chapter I've managed to add 36 more words bringing it to 5556 words. ^^

I tried posting as I go once, it didn't work for me. I have to get all the way through before I start posting or else I lose interest, or I get lost and don't know what to write next. Plus a lot of the time what my beginning has to be changes by the time I reach the end.
Yesterday, I did my revision pages but only wrote 309 words. Today I got my revision pages done and wrote 1093 words.

I know what you mean..used to wait until I had at least 5-6 chapters before I started posting but over the course of my improvement eventually I was satisfied with it so it made me that much more eager to show it off. Wednesday when I started the chapter I wrote 110 words, yesterday 175 words. Was feeling a bit drained yesterday.

did 11 pages of revision today, and wrote 1182 words of Canyons. It wasn't easy, my kitten kept attacking my hands whenever I tried to type. So I had to just grab a few minutes here and there whenever he was busy somewhere else or taking a nap.
It's hard to write when you're feeling tired and drained.

Only got 354 words written today, but then, I haven't written anything in close to two months. I had all morning up until 4:30 this afternoon that I could write, and of course, being me, I didn't actually start to write until quarter after four...

354 words in 15 minutes is pretty good! especially when you haven't written in a while, it's a good way to get back into it. After a day off yesterday to visit family, I had a pretty good day today. Revised 10 pages of Lost Book, and wrote 1432 words of Canyons Today was one of those "candy bar" scenes, a key scene that's a lot of fun and you're looking forward to writing. So I powered right through it. (When my kitten wasn't attacking my hand, that is)

awesome writing day for you! I only wrote 586 words today. But the revising today was tricky, I was moving a big chunk from earlier in the book to the part I'm on now, so I ended up having to print out that chapter with the new addition and work on the transitions and making everything fit together. So that added a page or so to my 10 pages, and was kind of tricky.

Wrote 473 words today, which was enough to complete the chapter. Will finish proofreading tomorrow.
