Re-Write Finished
Feb. 19th, 2007 07:18 pmFinal count of the re-write: 122,024 words and 231 pages.
I feel like I've been cranky and irritable with everyone and everything the last 24 hours that didn't directly have something to do with my novel. My world today has been solipsist, and I was seriously tempted to call in sick to work rather than split my writing day in two. I got even more frustrated when I got home and didn't feel any creative for some hours afterward.
I hope to quickly edit this version, then have it printed by this time next week.
Meanwhile, I'm reading Moby Dick. I'm not that far into it, yet, and the rest of Melville's stuff has hardly been page-turning material -- Bartleby the Scrivener could have done with a few car-chases, maybe a battle with a dragon -- but I'm enjoying it so far.
