It's Nice To Have A Productive Week
I think I'm finally figuring out how to make the editing job/writing career thing work. Of course, I shouldn't say that too loudly--could end up having the whole thing not work out for several weeks in a row and then where would I be?
Pretty much my weekdays are when I wear the editor hat and do my LP work. Mornings are devoted to slush pile reading, afternoons to editing. If there's no slush pile, then I work on editing all day with a nice break for lunch and house things (like, you know, dishes).
When my son gets home around 4, I get off the comp and use the afternoon and evenings for revising Assassin's Choice (or anything else I need to tackle). This has worked pretty well so far; I actually managed to get chapters 15 AND 16 into v5 last week by doing it this way. It allows me to revise by hand (which I still seem to need to do despite being able to edit on the screen) and keeps me from my usual internet distractions. ;)
Weekends are devoted to new words and world building and the like. This is also when I do all my DII admin stuff.
And last week, following this pattern netted me over 12k in words processed.
Now to just try to get it to work like that EVERY weekend. ;)
