Still haven’t done those line edits.
Morning, afternoon, evening, something, I’m not sure what, because
this system posts on PTD time, and I have no idea where in the day they are, so
yeah. So, yeah, let’s go ahead with today’s post.
As I’m sure you’ve noted by the title of this post, I haven’t
done the line edits on Cold Lunch 1st quarter. I would say I’m not
avoiding it, and that things I have to do keep popping up. But, that would be a
lie. I am avoiding doing it. I hate doing line edits, even though my typing
tends to be clean, I just write in a way that Mr. Strunk and Mr. White would
like to murder me for. For example, fragments. I have a tendency to love
fragments, because of the way I can connect them together. It’s a little
repetitive, but I feel it’s a part of my style, and therefore deserves to
remain that way. A publisher or agent might disagree with me later on down the
road, and I might fix them then. But, Word doesn’t agree with me now, and I
tell it to go to hell. Lol.
Regarding my trunk novel, I haven’t written a damn word.
Lol. I lacked the motivation to do just about everything yesterday, though I
think I did well on my diet, in a way. I had a double bacon cheeseburger and
curly fries for lunch (definitely not diet food), but it was within my calorie
count and the only other thing I ate all day was a $ .99 bag of peanuts. The
bad thing on there might have been the liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Have to
work on cutting out the pop a little bit better.
I’m thinking I might need to keep a physical record of what
calories I consume in a day. That would probably help some. Then include in
that what sort of exercise I do (currently that’s on the none side of the
equation), and maybe I should hold myself publicly accountable for those
things, Like I do for writing. In other words, I might just add a dietary stats
block to the blog. Lol.
And, so far today, I’ve been pretty good about packing. Got
a tote done so far, and I’m getting ready to load my car up with all the other
things we have packed thus far for a trip to the new place. So, I’ve been
somewhat productive today.
Anywho, this is me, signing off for the day.
Do you procrastinate when it comes to editing?

other day, now I’m going to do one for my wife :) She’s got two up right now: Duality and In the
End, There was Love. Read them, and harass her for more. Me harassing her
is not enough. Lol.
