It looks like I'll have revisions for the Duchess novel in early May, which means at that point I'll have to drop the werewolf manuscript to complete edits for the beginning of June. I had a hope of finishing a draft of the current manuscript by the end of May, but now I don't expect to be able to manage that. Oh, well, life will go on. And the Duchess will be that much closer to publication!
I'm carving out more time for writing where I can. I already had given up watching television and DVDs. Soon choir will be over for the year, and I'll have an extra evening per week to work. And I've been scheduling meals with friends and the like for evenings when I was pretty sure I wouldn't be writing anyway. The main lack I feel is time to be silent, alone, and doing practically nothing. I do manage to get some reading done, usually weekend afternoons when my brain is empty from my morning writing session, and won't be fully operational again until the evening.
Revisions will be a nice break, I think; a different kind of mental effort than pounding out a zero draft. I like to edit. I will have to remember that. |
