I am an idiot. I managed to overwrite all my notes for the elsewhere project with an older copy. A much, much older copy. Thankfully I recently printed out a hard copy but this means I have to re type about 50+ pages of stuff.
I'm trying to keep a positive frame of mind on this. I really did need to go though and do a hard edit on this lot, and hell maybe my typing speed will go up a bit. Still, staring at this rather thick stack of paper in front of me makes me want to cry.

Editing is best done from hard copy...you just don't see errors on the screen. Sorry it happened non the less. How are the art projects coming along?
ReplyDeleteI made peanut butter - peanut butter chip cookies last Saturday...they are almost all gone...shouldn't make cookies that I can't stay out of.
Pond is shoveled off ...again....time for a chai latte and a cookie!
Another trick of the trade is to read what you've written into a recording device. Play it back with the hard copy in hand. You catch the "flow" of dialogue that way. Tip from Jack Whyte. The idea of waiting a day is so that your "ear" is fresh..not clogged with what you were writing before hand. Good luck

To quote Patricia Briggs...you could post "Stone of a Peach" and not offend anyone.
