#ROW80 Check-in 2/18/15 – Back for the attack

…It would help to know what, precisely, I’m attacking. πŸ˜‰

Okay, okay. I’ve been revising like a crazy revising writer. I am now up to page 146. Would have been further by now, except I needed to backtrack and smooth over a bunch of scenes featuring two of my three main characters. Yay? So, it goes.

Naturally, my muse is DYING to have a go at something else, anything else. Today she was whispering poetry in my head: #badpoetry warning!

You ask me what’s happening?
What’s happening is I want to regurgitate
all the love I ever had for you
yank my intestines up Β through my throat
I love you but I shouldn’t, that’s true

..and that’s it. *grimaces* Maybe it’s the extreme horror anthology I’m reading at the moment?

Moving on to stats!

Pages revised: 146 of them
Pages remaining: 115 of them
Scenes finished: 70
Scenes remaining: 59
Feeling: Slightly stressed. (Deadline: March 1st.)
What’s happening: Possessions! Mayhem! Fierce battle!
What’s next: I have no idea — wait. One of the MCs might get injured, possibly. Still noodling.
Eye report: Not too bad? But nights have been a bit yucky.
Back report: Twinge-y. I need a physical therapy bouncy ball, stat!
Chocolate consumption since last check-in: Oh my. 1# bag of M&Ms (in roughly 3 days — I tried to eat them slowly…), 3 WW mini-sundaes, WW caramel-chocolate thingies, Twix bars, Chocolate-filled pactzi (that’s the 2nd time I’ve had to look up the proper spelling)…I think that may be it. πŸ˜‰

Here’s a blog post I wrote yesterday about the Truth about Revision. Will give you a laugh, methinks.

  1. More than half-way through the revision, though. That’s awesome! Also, love the horror-anthology inspired poetry. That’s so much fun.

    I hope the eye and back are all better soon. Keep eating the chocolate; I’ve heard it helps. πŸ™‚

  2. Woo Hoo!! Good for you!! You attack that revision. Working on my own, slow going but making progress.

    Nice little poem, quite the expressive descriptions. πŸ™‚
