I know there's no writing, only rewriting, but tonight I'm allowing myself the luxury of feeling very good about the accomplishment. I started the book in NaNoWriMo. I had to take a break after a month of intense writing, but began again later in December. This weekend, I was more earnest in my writing. Today, it was one of those obsessive, "I have to finish this" days. I worked on it for over seven hours straight. The story ending was right there in my brain, ready to make the move down to my fingers and onto the computer screen. I'm sore. I'm tired. My vision is blurry. But it was all worth it. I'll step away for tonight, but will start with the first total read-through tomorrow--I haven't done that in weeks. Snippets and chapters, yes. Entire book, no. I only hope everyone enjoys Amy's journey in this one. It's much more her story. Lisa and Frankie are there for support, of course, and they have their own issues to deal with. But Amy and Stacy spoke to me more in this sequel. And once your characters take you by the hand and lead you, you can't say no.
I know I promised to get better about writing once a week. I'll reiterate it here. I'd like to keep a weekly blog of how the rewriting's going.
Aside from my book, HOW 'BOUT THEM COLTS???!!!!! It wouldn't have mattered who won the Chargers/Jets game. Either team scares me since the Colts are so close to going back to the Super Bowl. I'll try to limit reading about them this week. It'll only drive me crazy.
