rolanni: (aelliana and daav from russian edition o)
[personal profile] rolanni
Spent the day with Aelliana and Daav, making it through Chapter 18, circa page 235. The manuscript now claims 112,556 words, which, as a count, is Highly Mutable.

Based on reader feedback, I've returned to the format of yesteryear, when Local Custom and Scout's Progress had Helpful Quotes and Possibly Pertinent Excerpts(tm) heading each chapter.

It's been mostly smooth sailing so far (for values of smooth sailing that include fixing ugly sentences, rearranging paragraphs and deleting extraneous scenes). The hard part -- is before me.

I think I may stay arisen at 5:30 tomorrow morning, and immediately get with the red pen. The sacrifices one makes for one's art. Gah.

But, now! The Dish Monster calls.

I don't like to get up in the morning, so I really appreciate the sacrifice you are making for your art. ...and I'm looking forward to reading it after all the sacrifices are complete.
