Second Day of Editing
So today is the last day of freedom before a long drought of extra days off at school. If I keep up on my plan then I'll have it finished before the month is over. Actually, it'll be over about halfway through March. I am up to 20 so far today, and I know that if I edit 3 pages a day every day this school week I can be on track at the end. But I might keep editing today or edit more than 3 pages a day. I then have a lot of work to do after that...I'm adding a new part to the book, so I have to write it and have my friend edit THAT, and then I have to go through and edit what she edited in the new part, and then have another friend edit the whole thing, before I finally go through and edit it all, yet again. then maybe I'll be able to send it off...I may just skip a step or two, but for now, I'll go.

How the first rewriting day for me went:
So, I finished editing chapter 1, and the first 10 pages of the copy I'm editing it off of. Tomorrow I'll either edit to page 15 or 20. If I edited it to page 20 then I could afford to only do 3 pages a day during this week, and be on track at the end of the week! 3 pages would probably only take an hour or 2 anyway, and I will totally be able to do that! OR I could try as hard as I can to get as far as I can and then maybe finish it in a little over a week. I may not be done for the night, but if I edit any more I may not have time to tell you. I ALSO wanted to say that every 5 or so pages in the original adds a page or more to the total, and about 1k words! That means that it may be to almost 100k total pages!!!
Next Stage, here I come!
So, the last time I blogged to you was over a month ago. Now, though, I'm back! My friend and I hung out yesterday, one of the ones editing it, and she gave me the book, all edited. I'm working on it now, and it's added over 1k words and over a page, and I'm only editing the 4th page! when I finished editing the third page of the original, the new copy was at the end of the 4th page! I can't wait to finish this! It may take a while, since starting Monday I won't have ANY extra days off, but I'll make my week-day goal into adding 1k words or boosting the page number up by at least 1. weekends, I'll just work as much as I can. when I stop for the day, I'll blog how many pages have been added. I'll probably do this daily, and if not that, hopefully at least weekly, if I remember to! I put in the number and I found out that if I edit 5 pages every day(almost there already for today) I'll be done in 17 days! of course, I'll do more than just that most days...gotta go now, bye!
