Day 12

Less than two weeks left now. It's been over a month since my last post. A lot has happened and at the same time, nothing has happened.

On a personal level, a little time away was needed, which has helped. But, school has started and with both my kids doing school from home, I fill my days with questions of this and that, my evenings with checking schoolwork. By the time I'm done, I'm exhausted and end up on the couch watching TV for an hour before sleep. The editing of Intervention has been slow as a result.

I do feel good about a few things. The first couple of chapters, the two chapters I never really liked because they were literally just written with little preparation, have both been edited. The second chapter has been completely rewritten, changing the course of events leading into chapter three in a way I feel is more compelling than it was before. It's not perfect, perhaps, but better.

This week, I've spend the mornings I've been able to get up collecting comments from readers and transferring to Scrivener. I'm through chapter six as of this morning, which is better than I expected. The best part about it? I had forgotten how much I actually like this story. It feels good, in a way, to just go back and look it over, re-read it and get back into the events of it. Not to mention, I'm enjoying it. I'm guessing part of that goes back to the fact that I really enjoyed writing this story.

Anyway, I digress. I'm going to spend the next week going back over these chapters taking into account the changes to chapters one and two and cleaning things up in general. I don't think I expect a whole lot more than that at the moment, considering there's so little time left. I can only do what I can do, but I'm going to do that at least.
