Time worked:  :39

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.

Time worked:  :44

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.

Time worked:  1:00

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.

Time worked:  1:10

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Two pages done, lots of rewriting. It’ll be a whole new story by the time I’m done. Same plot and characters, but different tone and style. That has to be a good thing.

Time worked:  :15

Work done:  Revising “Adventures in Pithea.” Suffice it to say, I didn’t do much today. I’ve had a headache since I got off work, and didn’t get much sleep last night. But I still went upstairs to work at around 11 pm, worked for 15 minutes, then realized I couldn’t really concentrate. So I laid down and ended up falling asleep for over an hour.
