There is sun in the panhandle of Florida… Let the angels sing!
Seriously, it’s been almost a week since the sun has done more than
peek out and wink weakly at us. This is the Sunshine State, after all. We have
a very symbiotic relationship with the
big orange guy in the sky. We need each other. We feed off of each other. When the clouds of a seemingly endless storm
steal one of us from the other, we mourn…
Frankly, it’s a bit creepy.
But, it is what it is (as people are always saying), and I’m just darn
glad to have the big, hot blob back!
With the “Ravenscar” edits now returned to Dreamspinner Press, today is
totally about Writhe. With the deadline for the novel next Saturday,
today will be the last day I “simply” (yeah, right) edit what I’ve already
gotten written.
Tomorrow, I will start writing all the connecting scenes, filling out
descriptors and smoothing out everything to make the novel flow. I’m aiming for
a Colorado River flow. You know, nice tranquil spots as it meanders through the
stark beauty of the Grand Canyon, but fierce rapids when you least expect it.
Once I get everything picked over by the end of today, I’m hoping to
have a word count in the low 40Ks to work with.
This might require some chopping.
Yeah, forget the pruning. I have a feeling I’ll be heading for the
chainsaw with this one. *lol*
But not today.
Today, there will be no destruction. No pruning shears. No axes.
Today, I simply make things pretty… *grins in the glorious Florida
sunshine*
Hey, somebody wake up those angels. It’s time to sing again!
Until tonight…
Chloe
