Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Not nearly as many pages done today, though I forgot to count. There were a lot of distractions tonight. Late start, dealing with a cold, and people talking to me a lot. I ended up giving up on the actual revising and finishing up with character profiling I started a while ago, to send to my sister who has recently finished the story and is ready to start comparing notes. Currently though, Naolin, Missy, and Julius are embroiled in a maddened fight for their lives. But I can’t help but wonder if I wrote it better the first time around.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Sixteen pages done, very little rewriting. There’s a conversation between Naolin and Missy that I wrote without thinking too much (not tonight), and I really like most of it, including the unhappy end. It could do with some reminders of what’s going on while they’re talking, some description or whatnot, but that’ll still come later.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Got through…some pages. I forgot to check how many. I spent most of the time, though, typing up much of the rewriting I’ve done by hand, so it would be on the computer somewhere. Right now, Missy is telling Julius what really happened back in Taellyn after everyone had gone home for the night, since it’s different now.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Got through over 13 pages today, which is amazing! Apparently I dislike what’s going on in part two much less than I did part one, because there has been a lot less rewriting so far. Bramen Seeger still made Naolin all awkward, and Naolin is so far still witness to Missy’s first step toward her true path.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” 3 pages done, which isn’t half bad for half an hour. Not as much rewriting now, which I hope means it’s not needed, not just that I’m not catching that it’s needed. I’m through part 1, which is an accomplishment in itself. Now Naolin is trying to talk Missy into going on the scouting mission with him again. I think she may have given in too easily.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” 3 1/2 pages done, including a few new scenes in a row. Blackthore tried to confront some jerk, Naolin realized he can get himself back to Drayune, and Missy, Leahna, and Naolin are finally in Aleutia.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Two pages done, lots of rewriting again. Naolin and Blackthore aren’t as antagonistic toward each other anymore, which may or may not last. Things are feeling more organized, instead of thrown together quickly. Hopefully all of this work will lead to something good.

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Four pages today. It was nice to see how quickly the text could go by when I didn’t have to rewrite, and could just read and make notes.
