Revision-O-Rama

Hear that? No? Listen carefully. Hear it now? It's the sound of my keyboard falling silent after finishing a round of revisions on the completed MS.

Ahhhhh.

Hang on, I don't like this.

Seriously, the silence is killing me. I'm a writing junkie. I need the click-click of the keys. I need the hair pulling frustration which comes with slaving over a hard scene/chapter/sentence. I need to write.

Maybe I'll just have a cookie first. And a cup of tea. Oh, there's the programme I recorded last night on the BBC I've not watched yet....

Okay, enough rest. Time to get more work done on the wip.

So tell me. How are your wip/revisions/procrastination attempts coming?

Oh, and in separate, but no less awesome, news Operation Awesome has launched with a Mystery Agent contest. Woot.

I'm supposed to be immersed in revisions - not here. I'm faced with a first chapter I think is lacking. Beta said it works, leave it alone (I'm going with my gut here). Add in a few chapters that I realized weaken the story and I might delete altogether and...I'm procrasting like you wouldn't believe. (Hugs)Indigo

If you MUST know, I haven't written a single new word in... well... a month...

I know, I know. But I'm taking the time to research/outline/figure out my newest WIP (the one I told you about earlier this week??). I hope to write that first word sometime this year :)

Happy revising!

I've been letting some editing/revising suggestions filter around in my head for a bit - I think I'm ready to attack it again :)

Congrats on finishing a round of revisions! I've just finished a round, too, and I'm about to start writing a new WiP to get some distance from the first manuscript. Can't live without the keys clacking, either!

Yeah, my revision is going slowly, but my MS getting a LOT better. I can see progress, which keeps me going.

Congrats for finishing edits--well done! :D

That first bit of silence is just golden, isn't it? I've procrastinated plenty this past month. Time to get back to work.

Elana Johnson said...

I know the feeling. I need something new to work on. I have a feeling I'm going to get something this afternoon -- a whole slew of revisions, actually.

And yay for Operation Awesome!!

It's all good. WIP and revision of a separate WIP should be finished by Friday, and then onto something new on Saturday! :)

I'm planning on writing tonight with my brother but lately I've been so stressed from my day job that I haven't written anything since the fairy tale blogfest. I did watch Star Trek last night...

Theresa Milstein said...

My WIP that I started in May wants to know why I've practically ignored it since then. Sorry, WIP!

I queried in early August, received rejections on some of them, and so I just revised it and sent out four queries last night.

Enjoy catching up on your program!

WIP is coming along well! Congrats on finishing your revisions. Good luck on submissions when you get to it!
