rolanniSo, Chapters 11, 12, and 13 have been dealt with as they deserve. Chapter 14 needs an entire rewrite; I've gotten a start on that, but the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.
I will note that, though I've removed two chapters, the manuscript hasn't actually lost any words to this point. This is a Good Thing, as the last draft ended short. Still shooting for 98,000 words.
In and around sawing chapters into bits and sewing them back together, I've been thinking about how I'm going to integrate the new job with the rest of the tasks that need doing, including the office work for SRM, the books under contract, the book not under contract, the gym, chores, and actually getting some sleep. I know that people do this all the time and it's no big deal, but my last full-time (OK, something well over full-time) job was work-from-home, and I could trade out a Thursday for a Saturday, if things needed doing. My last full-time, away-from-home job ended in 1992. I'm a little out of practice is what I'm saying.
It would be nice if my requisition for an eighteen-hour-day would go through...

Date: 2006-07-24 12:02 am (UTC)Put one hand on your head, and one on your tummy. Now pat with the hand on your head, and make circles with the one on your tummy.
When that is going pretty well, switch hands.
This is not the practice you had in mind? Well, we have a special on second-hand yoga exercises this week, too, if you're interested in them.
Don't worry, full-time work develops its own rhythm pretty fast.
