Words added: 221
Words deleted: Not as much this time, more moving things around
Chapter I’m currently editing: 18 – Still, I may have to split this chapter. It’s longer than I realized.
Chapters to go: 3

I didn’t do much in the manuscript this week. I know, shame on me. How am I going to finish this first pass so I can start the second one, if I don’t sit down every day? Wish I had the answer.

My goal, and trust me it’s a big one, is to have this first go through completed before I fly out at 7:00AM on Saturday morning to go visit Missy and Aaron. She and I are going to sit by the pool each morning before we start doing whatever it is we will do while I’m there, and work on the second pass. It’s nice to have a fresh pair of eyes, one that doesn’t really know the story to read it and let me know if anything is confusing or what not.

Don’t forget about this week’s contest. Leave your comments this week to be entered.

So, it’s your turn now. How was your week? Did you meet your writing goals or reading goals? If you’re not a writer, but a reader or scrapbooking, gardener, (sounds like: doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief from when I was a kid) or whatever, did you meet your goals? Let us know, besides, it’s one more entry into the contest. :D

Writing Wishes and Plotting Dreams,
Vicki

Hi Vicki! I actually did meet my writing goals this week (which is a big surprise). Unfortunately, I didn't meet my reading goals. I'm looking forward to catching up on that this weekend.

Good luck with your goals and have a great trip! Sitting by the pool sounds really nice :)

Heyyy, I'm a writer and a reader and a scrapbooker! (And I'm not meeting my self-imposed goals on ANY of those fronts... /gah)

Keep at the editing Vicki! You're making great progress!!
