overcast, cool, temps 11
though I haven't been out today at all! spent the day in my sweats, and you know what that means! Writing. Editing, actually. got almost 100 pages done - but difficult. Not much new, but tweaking and needing to make sure the edits are actually improvements. And of course when I change one thing, it affects other things later on...everything's connected. It's like tossing a pebble into a pond. Not a big splash - and quickly disappears unnoticed (I hope) but with consequences. A lot of editing is thinking, and staring, and imagining. Where the change might make a single scene better - by the end of the book the effect might be catastrophic.
So - as a result - I'm really tired and will not do a long post. Besides, nothing happened.
there - that was simple.
Dear Diary,

Nothing Happened.

Dear Louise,
I disagree with you! Something did happen. You edited more pages in your next book. To all of us waiting for the next book, this is a major undertaking.
Now that you are finished for the day, enjoy doing nothing. Everyone needs time like ttat.
