Nov. 14th, 2011 09:39 amThis weekend I was super-productive! I pushed through the rest of Part I of A Returning Power (the last two chapters didn't need many big changes, it was just the first ones that needed to be largely rewritten).
And then I went back and read "Lightening" aloud to myself and changed things and hit my head on it for a while, and then sent it out.
So. That's gone. Maybe now I'll actually write those other short stories lurking in the back of my head.
Also my father came to visit, which was nice, although I always feel vaguely guilty for not having exciting things! planned for when people come visit me here. "Um--art museum?" is my default. (To be fair, he visited on a Sunday afternoon/evening, when most of everything's closed anyway.)
It is a nice art museum, though. And it's always good to just go look at it without a class assignment pushing me there.
By the end of next weekend I hope to be through the second part of ARP with big-scale revisions, Thanksgiving break the third part, and then the end of it--uh, by the end of the semester? And then a prose-level pass, and then I'll make someone read it and tell me if it's terrible, and then maybe I'll actually query it out to agents. Instead of just thinking "Hey I should send a novel out someday".
Current motion was looking through the first scene of part two this morning. Or at least the beginning of it. Now I have class and work and a meeting with a professor until five, so probably not much more work today, but hey--that's how it goes sometimes. Mostly my goal was to start looking at it again, since yesterday was mostly "Lightening".
