Sometimes it’s hard to focus because I’m just easily distracted, but sometimes there are other reasons.
Writing accomplishments: Fixed one argument, rewrote the last sentence, and uploaded the final two chapters of ALL ROCS (C2) for critique next week. (I thought I was one of the last ones, but then I found out a couple people had created folders but hadn’t uploaded anything yet. It’s all good though — there’s still another 24 hours before anything is officially late.) Scrivener and I were having a difference of opinion on chapter numbering — I wanted them to be chapters 11 & 12. Scrivener wanted to call them chapters 1 & 2 since that was all I was compiling. I love Scrivener, but sometimes… Worked a little more on ALL GREMLINS (C1) to clarify what’s going to destroy the world if Nessa & Fred don’t fix things.
There was one sentence that was bugging me tonight because the parts didn’t fit together. After rewriting it about ten times I finally just fixed it by deleting the whole thing. My new mantra: when in doubt, cut it out. (That works because C2 is 97k words so I have some word count to play with.)
