About 1500 words today. Not a lot, but they're good words. I love sitting on my awesome deck with a view of the mountain peaks and agonizing over every individual word as I need it.

I write slow. I go back and edit as I go. You're not supposed to do that, but that's my process. All the writing people say you're supposed to get it all down fast, then go back and edit. I edit afterwards too, and then edit again, and keep doing that.

I even re-edit things I've already published. I think it makes be a better writer, because I always see places for improvement. and the things I see lead me to write better as I go. It's slow, but it's what I do.

3/4

I think this re-write of my early novel is the best stuff I've ever done. I love the people whose stories I'm telling. I want them to shine, whether anyone else reads it or not.

Besides, they're demanding I do this right, and some of them are scary.
