Writing is such a pain in the rear. <\/p>\n

I’d hoped, when I started this book, to save myself from the endless round of rewriting that I had to do on the previous book. No such luck.<\/p>\n

This week I finished typing in the revisions I’d scribbled onto printouts of chapters 4-6, then reread the book so far (it ends in early chapter 9). Unsuprisingly, it gets off to too slow a start, so I’ll be deleting the last scene of chapter 1 and the second scene of chapter 4. Yay, more rewriting.<\/p>\n

I also have to rewrite chapter 8, since I made a big change in chapter 7 to keep all my characters from getting killed.<\/p>\n

Would anyone like to loan me a new writing process? This isn’t as tedious as poring over the thing trying to add more description, but it’d be nice to write a scene and not have to rewrite it, or delete it, later. (My cuts files already have two chapter’s worth of words in them, and that doesn’t include the old version of chapter 1 or stuff that only got heavily rewritten. That means I’ve cut nearly 20 percent of what I’ve written. Fantastic.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, today I am going to whip chapters 1 and 2 (now called chapter 1) into shape, and then write more of chapter 9. (I finally started writing new story again on the airplane [1]. It’s been ages. (I will probably cut it again later.))<\/p>\n

Yesterday I did no work on this book but did a million other things. Including making Peach Tapioca. That wasn’t what I wanted to make (I need to hit the grocery store), but it was pretty tasty:<\/p>\n
