I got stuff done and I've had very little sleep so today is a gratuitous #fanfiction writing day.

#AmWriting #IHateEditingSoDamnMuch

Back to staring at a sentence and trying to work out why it's a wrong sentence.

I am running out of things to clean, sort out and put away, but not out of chapters to edit.

Did some actual editing, yay!

I've pretty much forgotten all the details of how this novel goes, so if I want to find out more I have to work through every terrible paragraph, which is my sole motivation to continue (I write what I want to read).

The cheering thing is I've learned a lot about writing since I churned it out.
The thing that makes it such hard work is I've learned a lot about writing since I churned it out.

Oh gods, I hate this next chapter too.

#amWriting #amEditing #IHateEditingSoDamnMuch #laundryTime

Yes! I finally finished the chapter I kept bouncing away from all of this week! It's much shorter, much easier to get through and it's *done*.

Until the next pass but that's months away.

I've rewritten a chunk. I'll see how it reads in a few months, but at least I know for certain it could be a lot worse.

Putting 'xo66' by every paragraph that needs substantial changes and probably taking out altogether.

(Execute Order 66, meaning 'kill them all' from Star Wars, except these paragraphs are not going to go on to win the entire book.)

It's a way to try to stop myself running out of steam and feel like I'm getting somewhere.
