How’s it going, squiders? Busy busy over in this neck of the woods, but that seems to always be the case.
(We’re going to get new neighbors soon, which is always a bit nerve wracking.)
So far so good on the feedback. I spent yesterday transferring the marathon comments into an editing copy and then editing Chapters 1 and 2 (which I finished this morning), so that’s ready to send to the in-person critique group.
I put chapter 3 up yesterday for the critique marathon and was pretty pleased with how I updated it, but so far people aren’t into it, so that’s a bit of a downer. Oh well. However, the way the marathon is set up, if enough people don’t think it’s ready, I’ll have to redo the chapter and repost it before I can move farther in the story.
So I may have to skip a week, because I’m not sure I can fix it (also depending what people think is wrong) before next Monday. But we shall have to see.
I signed up for some sort of structure challenge at AutoCrit but I haven’t even touched it because of critique central over here. Oh well! I’m sure it would be helpful but you can’t do everything all the time, and I am getting work done toward my main goals, so it is what it is.
Also, when I went to work on Chapter 4 I discovered I’d switched chapters 4 and 5 in my notes. I can see why I did that, and I think it will work nicely, so good job past!Kit on properly documenting things.
Anyway, I hope things are going well for you! I’m feeling pretty great, like I’m actually getting somewhere. Getting up early to work has been a bit rough (not going to bed early enough) but it is paying off in the productivity.
Fingers crossed that chapter 3 passes muster!
