Status -- February 7, 2009

Lame week, day job is in long hours-high stress mode and the writing has suffered. The good news is that I am preparing for the revisions, a process that involves some reading, building checklists, thinking about other projects and not looking at the novel itself. In a week or so, I’ll dive back in with a readthrough of the rough draft, reading fast as if I were a reader, followed by a slower readthrough where I mark-up things that need fixed. So, less than 10 hours this week and none of it directly on the book. Sigh.
