Revision!

I've made a schedule! Yes, like I said I was going to do! You have no clue how proud I am of myself for actually doing something productive like I said I was going to do.

I made a nice schedule on google calenders (yeah, never found the planner I was looking for) and it's so nice and pretty and dedicated to writing (it even has blogging scheduled in!). So far, well, I've kind of been following it. I've been doing revision like I scheduled, though not much progressive writing has happened. I'm a tad blocked in that department. That's what I get for stopping at the end of a scene.

Anyway. Revision.

I absolutey love revision. It's where I think I do my best writing. It's so much easier to write something once you can physically see a version of it written down. Then I can just focus on making it sound good. And that's the best, because then I feel like less of a failure when what I write actually sounds like real writing rather than the smut I usually churn out.

The first chapter is getting revised this week. And I need to finish it this weekend to stay on schedule! It shouldn't be a problem. I'm mostly good with the first chapter, it just needs a little help style-wise. There's a lot of weird language I use, that I like to call non-direct language. It bothers me. And makes me cringe. Ugh.

I have a little pink revision notebook that I'm taking notes in for revision (you're welcome Corey, I won't be writing you letters in this pink book like I had been secretly planning. If I still do that, I'll find something more masculine). It's a really good idea, taking notes and writing stuff like that down. It helps you remember what you want to do, and it's a good place to gripe about how sucky you are. Haha!

Alright. Enough blogging for today. I have some revision to be doing, and some progressive writing to get done!

'Till Later
