Whittling My Way Down Through My List
Slowly but surely I'm getting through my list. Yesterday, my priority was working on the program design and I almost got it done. Should be able to finish today.
I fixed the chapter my critique group heard on Wednesday. Took awhile because we had 7 people to make suggestions and corrections. Amazingly, each one came up with things the others didn't. I also did a word search on "Really" which seems to be a big favorite of mine. I eliminated all but two.
Another phrase that popped up many times (in the first chapter, mind you) was "a lot" so I got rid of those too in the whole manuscript. Oh, how great it is to be able to do a word search.
While I was doing all that, I washed three loads of clothes, dried them, and put them all back where they belonged.
I also tended to some emails that had to be taken care of.
I made a delicious batch of spaghetti and after we ate and I cleaned up, I crashed on the couch to watch several episodes of the Good Wife. Found out that the writers there have a darling too--"I did." The heroine says it often--and tonight I heard her husband say it too.
And that was my very busy day.
