Progress notes, Break

[clarentine]

Time to get the nose back to the grindstone, I think, and holding myself accountable for production will go better if the accountability is public, yes?

Revisions on the third Canum novel (working title What Does Not Break Us, or Break for short) are at that stage where I have a nice, neat, clean synopsis to use as a blueprint for what must happen by which time on the story timeline and now I have to rewrite old scenes or write new ones to match the blueprint. I am not the write-to-outline kind of writer, so this is not my favorite part of writing, needless to say. It is, however, necessary to bring coherence (not to mention actual plot) to this novel.

I'm a little under the weather at the moment, so I'm not going to hold myself responsible for pages and pages per day. I'm aiming for a scene each day.

Now let's see if I can catch one. *g*

ETA: And what's the last line I left myself when I was previously working on this revision? "I'm not sure what I was expecting." Um, yeah. I hear you, subconscious. *g*

I just wish I thought this revision would lend itself to participation in novel_in_90, but I suspect that would be counterproductive.

A pity you can't do it, but I understand what you mean. You have to know if you can slot a project--the writing or revision of--into the Ni90 format. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to do so.
