Can't Do It Today
Thursday I got some copy edits back for the first four chapters of the story, but I just can't face them today. My brain isn't working well enough. Thinking feels like I slogging through mud, and the places where she changed stuff, clearly not getting what I was trying to say are clear indications that I wasn't writing clearly, but I can't put the words together enough to figure out a better way to say it.
Yesterday was shot because I spent 3-hours plus drive time talking to a very nice gal about plotting, then answering a whole bunch of her emails. I enjoyed it, and I learned from it, or else I wouldn't have done it, or put it off until another day... but it sucked up all the brain usage that was allotted for yesterday, so no editing got done.
Today I'm feeling the pressure to get something edited, so I can get this damn thing out the door, but I can't think, which makes editing very hard.
Maybe a short nap will help. At this point, all I know is that sitting here at the computer is a waste of time and only making me more cranky by the moment... which isn't at all conducive to a good editing mindset.
