Novel Maintenance

Instead of writing this morning, I decided to to some maintenance on Out of the Darkness.

I took some scenes that I knew now belong in Xanali and moved them. Then, I rearranged a couple of scenes in Out of the Darkness and now I am very happy with the way things stand.

And, am ready to work on closing. I hope I feel like writing more than my 2,200+ words per day this weekend, cause I really think I can finish. I think the most difficult parts are out of the way now.

Whew!

My Mistake

I forgot to move the main scene that I wanted to switch from Out of the Darkness to Xanali. That is now done.

Thank God It's Friday!

What're you folks going to do this weekend? Anything exciting?

Me?

The same thing I do every weekend. Try to finish a novel.

And rest.

And critique.

And rest.

Lots of rest.

Have a great Friday!

Oooooooooh....Weekend.....

Soooo tired.

Wrote some tough stuff today. Very intense. Very emotional.

I cut some scenes out this morning and placed them into Xanali. I'm upping my projected word count from 150,000 to 155,000. I think I'm close, but I need a little room to work with.
