Two more chapters edited. These went a little quicker. It’s nice to start getting back into a groove. :)

Editing space of choice today: Central Library in downtown Indianapolis. Drink of choice: Doc Pop Poppi with a splash of almond milk. ✌🏼

106 words this session. But since my last post accidentally came through twice, I’m deducting 34 from my count to make sure I have an accurate number on my tracker here.

“I've started editing, too, but not at a cool library!” – Lisa R. Schoolcraft

Whew, back at it after a 9 day break due to health stuff. 🤪 Slow going today, but got through editing a chapter. Cut 34 words (because I added some this time too) in about 2 hrs. Onward!

Quick morning edit before the mini BFF arrived. Cut 33 words from the chapter I was in (didn’t finish it so I’ll circle back next time). Always feels good to get some margin moment writing in!

“Still a great day!” – Craig

“Words in those margin moments can make all the differnce! Good push!” – WayneKey

Squeezed in a chapter before bed and cut 186 words. I’ll be doing an at-home health treatment thingie tomorrow that I’m hoping will help with how rough I’ve been feeling lately. It may mean a few days off of editing, so I wanted to make sure to get a chapter in tonight! Mission accomplished. I’m off to read before bed! ✨

“Enjoy the read and hope all goes well with your treatment! Sending you good vibes. :)” – S.H.Blodgett

Cut 214 words over two chapters so far today. 🎉 Took yesterday off of *everything* to rest since I’ve been feeling so crummy the last week. Still not feeling well today, but we’ll enough to get some edits in. Going to take a nap and try to tackle another this evening! Little by little, I’m getting this chonky fantasy book together. ♥️

Kind of slogged through it today. Had hoped to get through more chapters, but stopped at two. I’ve not been feeling well this week; took yesterday to just rest and read (I got through a graphic novel and finished a second book! 😆) Always glad when I go gently, despite occasional disappointments over delays. 🥄♥️

“No pressure. There's always tomorrow.” – Craig

Squeezed in a late night editing session before bed. I’m not feeling well today—less well than yesterday—but knew I could at least start one chapter tonight. Glad I did! Cut a lot from this one—250 words.

“Hope you feel better soon!” – S.H.Blodgett

Late night editing session! 🥱 Cut 198 words from one chapter.

Going to try to get through several more chapters by the end of this weekend. I’m not feeling great this week, though, and walking that line between doing and overdoing. (Dealing with chronic illness so 🥄s at play.)

“Editing is what I dislike most lol You can do it!” – jenniwardauthor
