Getting Rid of Me: Experiment #1

Submitted by jlpowers on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 5:34pm

This morning was Experiment #1 in the "Getting Rid of Me" problem (here). I got up, got my stuff around (except for the one thing that I spent 20-minutes looking for and can't find which I hope I didn't leave at the convention hotel) and went to Panera.

The good news is that I got the first two chapters reviewed and re-edited and have the first new paragraph of the 3rd chapter written.

The bad news is that Panera is too noisy to work.

So, tomorrow I try someplace else... maybe the library.

But, back to the good news... 9,200 words are mostly done. The first 10 pages still need work, but the next 32 are solid... so no real complaints. And it feels really good to put an editing bar into place.
