A full six chapters are completely edited in Claiming The Prize! Hmmmm, that only leaves fifteen to go... There's a 'do-able' amount of work to be done in the time frame I've set. Admittedly, (blushes) I am the queen of the comma splice. I love commas! It's a sickness...
Stacey, you're terrific! You may buy (or sew) a giant, comma shaped pillow and smack me with it when we meet up.
Alright. Here's how my goals are matching up.
I have edited all week. Afternoons, evenings, nights...I was plunked in my chair before the computer screen.
...Oh, wait. That's all I've accomplished! Ha!
I haven't done much else.
This is how I feel about all this editing!It's short and sweet this Wednesday. ROW80 check-ins here.....Click to see what every one's been up to the first half of the week. ~ Nadja
Well done on the six chapters you have edited, one more and you are a third of the way through! Keep up the good work and I hope you have another successful editing week!
ReplyDeleteI've been known to say to an editor: "Kill the commas! All of them. OH, THE COMMANITY!"
ReplyDeleteThen, I'm assured it really isn't as bad as all that. :-)
Glad to see that I'm not the only comma-crazy writer in the world! And I'm so happy to hear that the editing is going well. You're making great progress!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work, Nadja! Six chapters, "that's all I did this week", that is a tremendous amount.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week :)
Ha! Oh the commanity!......I'm going to add that phrase to my vocabulary for sure and pass it along to my editor...too funny.
ReplyDeleteI was finishing up all (well, almost) the school shopping today, so I'll be visiting around tomorrow.
Hope you're all having a great week so far ~ Nadja
The comma's actually got better toward the end of the book...it's like a comma virus got loose when you were writing the beginning :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I think that you should bring the pillow. LOL!
I'm on it, Apple. Seriously, I'm going to see if I can find one. It could be more fun than I've had in quite awhile.....
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your day of 'the bare minimum'! Nadja
Ah, the comma-splice! An English prof of mine write "AUGGH!" by each of mine all the way through Shakespeare one semester--that helped!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Gene--ALL you did? Pulleeeze, woman, that's fantastic. I hope your weekend motors along well.

Nancy ~ Thanks!;) And those comma splices......AUGGH! Yes, I think those letters are a good phonetic fit for my utterances.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that I am the queen of comma splices makes me feel 'some type of way'.....!?
