Work done: Sixth meeting of the Tri-County Sisterhood of the Traveling Book. We got through 17 paragraphs this time, but I’ll have to stop going by that unit of measurement now. Dialog and action make for short, easy to speed through paragraphs. Comparing the amount we did to previous meetings, it was maybe 1/4 of a page more. In the past, we’ve averaged a page a week, and today we got through a page and a half. That still puts us in chapter 1. We’ll see how things go in the future.

Work done: Mostly revising “Adventures in Pithea.” I can’t quite decide how I want a scene to go, and the more I sat and thought about it, the more sleepy I became. I did my best for now and will hopefully move past it tomorrow. I’ll get the opinion of my fellow TCSTB-ers someday down the line. So the gang had some more fighting to do, of more than one variety.

Work done: Fifth meeting of the Tri-County Sisterhood of the Traveling Book. We got through 6 paragraphs this time. I’m still not sure what to do to pick up the pace, as we did try something new between the last meeting and this one, and only managed to make it through six. We get stuck a lot on word choices that later (and to an outside observer) seem unimportant, but we can’t all agree without the discussion. Tonight, we even had a bit more argument, which we didn’t resolve and may be picked up again next week.
