Besides a stint of Left 4 Dead 2 on Tuesday night (zomgZOMBIESdiediedie), I’ve been consumed with revisions on one of my larger projects, codename: Fever. These are good revisions, polish revisions, which means no hair pulling or the reorganizing scenes. Just plucking a word here, moving a line there, tightening and cutting off the fat. Removing the superfluous.

Which has been fun. It has given me a chance to dive back in and get reacquainted with my characters. It’s also given me a chance to refocus. For a while I had been distracted by life and reality and numerous other things. My agent needs the revisions done sooner rather than later, which is great–it gives me a hard and fast deadline to work towards, which I thrive in. It allows me to easily cut out the distractions as well.

I even carry my iBook around in hopes of getting a moment to edit. Like last night. I had to pick up my daughter from her gymnastics. I got there early and had a few minutes to wait, so I popped open my iBook and revised by the dashboard light. I only got in about 15 minutes, but it was 15 minutes I wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Today is going to be more of the same until I get these revisions done–hopefully wrapping them up next week.

And then it will be on to project: Violet once again.
