The Novel is taking all my time and thought. It's wearing me down. The work is slow. I think I'm trying to hard to make it perfrect. I'm not sure though. I keep doing major changes to story, so in the long run the rewrites should be easier. I don't know. I'm making it up as I go along. I'm still enjoying this though. A wonderful challenge.
Rewrote a short story of mine today. I came across a journal asking for submissions and checking out the current issue I realized that I had a story that perfectly fit their style. I pulled out the story to email it in, but decided to take a quick look at it first. I spent the next two hours doing a total rewrite. The story remained exactly the same but I used the style and tone that I'm using in the novel. I think it made a huge improvement. We'll see what the journal thinks.
Haven't slept more than a few hours a night for 3 days now. Too tired to write, or do much of anything.
I slept well last night. Still not caught up, but feeling better.
Slept well again. Got up early and wrote for a couple hours. Some good stuff.
