This is just kind of a “note to self” type post. You are welcome to read it if you like.

Today ended up being just a little progress.  By little, I mean even after swearing I wouldn’t I started editing what I had written the other day.  I swore I wouldn’t.  But, I did. 

FAIL.

For my new project, I started out like a bullet with 1760(some odd) words.  That was awesome.  Too bad NONE of them were the beginning. haha.  I have this project kind of plotted out on note cards, so I typed up the dialog I had already decided on.  I typed up the end scene because I know exactly how I expect this thing to end.  And then I went to bed.

Today, I promised myself I wouldn’t edit.  That is what I do.  I start a project, write a little, and then the next day edit the hell out of it until its dwindled back down to nothing.  So this time, I swore I wouldn’t. Again, I have to say FAIL.  I totally edited today.  But as I edited, I rewrote.  So even though I chopped out almost everything I had popped on for the beginning, I did rewrite it.  And I did manage to add some to the middle.

I am ending the day with 1470 words.  Not consecutive words mind you.  Prologue, done. Ending, done.  One quite disturbing scene towards the beginning, done.  Not consecutive, but DONE, none the less.

I know, I know. 1400 is less that 1700, so how is this progress?  Well, at one point today I was back down to 900(ish) so yeah, I’d say progress.

Tomorrow is another day, and I am promising myself…  I will NOT edit.
