So I'm back to working on Crow King again, although not so much in the typing sense. It's been about a month since I last let myself look at it, so yesterday I printed it up and started to read. I'm trying to resist too much editing and instead just focus on the experience of the story- and, of course, making notes of where I need to expand, and where I need to clarify, and where I have used the exact same turn of phrase I used twenty pages ago. I am quite guilty of that last thing- apparently when I like the way something sounds, I want to share it. A lot. ::wry grin::
What's especially neat to me is that it's actually taking me time to get through the darn thing. As in, more than one day. That's a lot of words! So there's a certain warm glow to that little experience. And I can really tell where I hit my stride, because the writing gets, like, exponentially better. Which is both good and bad- good that I have chunks of really solid writing, and bad in that there are chunks that just plain and simple need to be re-written now that I am more familiar with the characters. ::sigh:: Ah well...
I've also done, as part of my daily-doodle business, some costume design. Oh so much fun. And Nathan has even made noises of approval, so that's nice.
And now? Now on to hoop dance class! ^_^
