A little update on what I've been doing. I spent most of yesterday (while I wasn't procrastinating!) on editing "Legends and Destiny: In the Beginning". So far, have gone from 143 pages and 93,749 words to 145 pages and 95,847 words. I have so far edited up to page 30, and am hoping to get up to at least page 70 today (yes, I can be ambitious at times!). It's a bit slow going since it was originally started almost ten years ago, so the tone and plot in various places just didn't connect with what I want it to sound and feel like. Hopefully, by Monday night, the final round of edits will be finished, and I can do a final read through before handing it to some publishers.
And hopefully, these edits will be done by the beginning of next week since it's going to be a chaotic one (and I don't mean because of the Super Bowl!). Tuesday we are taking in another dog, a half chow/half black lab female named Mia. Her owners, good friends of the family, have to move because they can't afford where they live anymore, and consequently, the dog either. We'll be taking Mia in until we can find her a new home. On top of that, starting tomorrow, my Siberian Husky, Storm, can pop. I love having new puppies but to be honest, they are a lot of work, and it makes it hard to go anywhere for more than a few hours. And it also makes it hard to DO anything, like editing, because all you want to do is play with and watch them grow; every day is a new, exciting learning process, and this will be my third time!
So here's hoping the Muse lays off the sauce and puts his little, whiskered nose to the screen and helps me get this thing edited for good!
