Nov. 2nd, 2008 08:13 amWell, okay then. I got some news last night that... I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. But basically it boils down to now I really do have to take this Nanowrimo seriously, and yes, I'm being deliberately cryptic so as not to jinx it. Also because I'm not sure just how excited I should be about this. But it does mean my fussing over the query letter might not have been undue, so most of you who have been with me the past couple years know what that means. Um. Right.
Not that this changes any of my plans. It's still, go through according to the outline, finish the damn novel. If I'm not entirely sick of it by the end, flesh it out. If I am, wait six weeks, then go back and edit and flesh it out.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adsartha and analise have already pointed out major editing points which have since been fixed, thank you, my loves. Small things such as typos and very minor grammatical errors will be fixed when the manuscript is complete, and probably not at all on the journal entries. And, then, you know. Shop the novel around. Gods, though. That was a kick in the pants.
Um. Today, on the agenda! Shower. Definitely shower. Grab breakfast after, because I can eat and write at the same time. Write from about 9 to about 11. Rest. Write from about noon to about 2. Get ready for English Country dance. Still not sure if I'm going to the party or not, but it'll be the last chance to see the miniMidir before he heads back to England. It's either that or go to the Write-In, or come home. Decisions.
And thank god for Daylight Savings time; I got so much happy sleep last night, was not woken up by the cats until I'd had almost eight hours, and they were most polite about the meowing. I wonder if we've struck some sort of truce without me knowing.
Mmm. I feel like this entry should be longer but I can't remember anything I was going to say. So, tickle some dragons, roll some eggs, good luck to all you Nanoers and good luck to all you poor people enduring having to see all those word count meters. :)
Edited: I'm putting my own word count meter in my profile so no one has to have it inflicted on them. :)
