May 24 2008
WWIR: MAY 18 through MAY 24, 2008 (no, I do not know what month it is!)
WL: Combed its hair, washed its face, pinched its cheeks and sent the first 50 out for another visit. My query-writing skills must have improved now that I’m at version 8.3.
Note to self: Next book, completely rewrite query 8 times before sending one.
SC-1: Rewrote Elle’s half of Chapter One. Slowed down a little to set tone and broke up the infoberg. (Whaddya mean I don’t have to explain everything RIGHT NOW?)
SC-3(?): Wrote a bit of dirtiness. Realized I could not transplant it to, for example, SC-1 because it doesn’t fit those characters. Patted myself on the back for not having interchangeable characters. Strained shoulder. Learned valuable lesson about humility.
Not precisely writing-related, but I’ve moved up in the Google world. I used to be stuck after pages and pages of John Kerry with some political dude last name of Allen, but now I’m in second place behind a 24-year-old dead backpacker, and frankly, I don’t expect to compete with that and win.
