Long weekend

So with the 4th of July coming up on a Tuesday, I think almost everyone I know (ok, at least several people) are taking a long weekend. So will I, except I will be working from home on Monday. Unless my parents' condo gets rented in the next few hours, it looks like we will be going down to the beach.

Obviously, I will need to buy some more books to read on the actual beach because I like to keep my computer away from sun, water and especially sand whenever I can help it. =) I can write long-hand in notebooks, but I can't even revise pages because of the wind. That's ok. I need some time to relax and do what I want (which right now includes reading and playing sudoku--both addictive activities).

However, I'm hoping over this five day stretch I can also get a good start on the revision of both my books. Maybe it's good that I have two to work on. They're very different, after all, so I shouldn't confuse them in my mind or anything like that. Then, if I get tired of working on one, I can switch to the other. I have a hard time doing that when actually writing because it requires a switch in voice and characters' heads and stuff like that, but that shouldn't be as much of a problem with revision. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. I hope I get a lot done!

GOALS:

Marla, Book One

• Finish list of changes to be made
• Start going through ms and making and/or marking these changes

Song of the Prophecy

• Finish writing down ideas for changes (which I really should have done already!)
• Write the new first chapter and see how it turns out
• Write/revise more!

Wish me luck!
