Knowing When to Quit: ROW80 Update
Last week was all about editing. Not only did I have my editor's first round edits in hand, I was working through suggestions from four amazing beta readers. Although I'm grateful for all of their input, and I know my novel will be better for it, it was a lot to take in. My head was spinning.
I have what I like to call OED... obsessive editing disorder. I love the editing process, but I have a really hard time knowing when to quit. I'm convinced I could edit something until the end of time, so when is it good enough? Or, as my daddy always said, GED... good enough, dammit.
It's Sunday, time to check in regarding my A Round of Words in 80 Days (ROW80) goals.
Updates...Publish Chasing Memories -- Edit #2 is done and back in the hands of my Editor, the lovely Jo Michaels. Survive the A to Z Blog Challenge -- Only done through H, so I plan to get through at least K tomorrow.Map out the sequel to Chasing Memories - As I was editing this past week, plot points for Book 2 were bombarding me. I have notes everywhere (truly, I think I have written on every piece of scrap paper in my house). This week I plan to organize them and add details.Make significant progress on the follow-up to Depression Cookies - The plan is to write two chapters this week. Note: In April, I am only going to do ROW80 updates on Sundays since I'm posting all the other days for A to Z. In May, I'll be back to Wednesday and Sunday posts.
Hope my ROW80 friends started Round 2 with a bang!
