I'm off this week, the relevance of taking the time off in relation to what we're doing at work completely escaping me until last Wednesday or so (we're in the final throes of recertifying users of our online application and the deadline is this Wednesday, when we begin inactivating accounts).
So I'll be taking advantage of all the extra free time and editing my 2007 manuscript. I thought I'd found a new direction (see earlier posts) and I began rewriting it with those thoughts in mind. However. After reading how much I've already written on two of the characters and how much I enjoy their interaction, I'm going back to the way things were when I first started writing this and make them exes, as opposed to the new idea of having them "meet cute". In the process, I'd written some new scenes for the "meet cute" draft of the manuscript that I really liked so now I'm shoehorning them into the "they're exes" draft that I've started again.
Didn't help that one of the drafts of chapter one wasn't numbered, so I had to spend about 30 minutes yesterday separating the two drafts from each other and numbering pages.
Ennyweigh, I may or may not be out and about to my usual coffee house haunts this week. I'll post here the night before I show up anywhere, in case you'd like to get together and hang out. Tomorrow, 4/14, since I'll be in the neighborhood I'm planning on being at Open Book early/mid afternoon, about 1:00 or so.

Guys! Guys! GUESS WHAT! You know that errant chapter 3 that was suffering from Golden Prose Syndrome?
I REWROTE IT TODAY!
Air guitar! *wranka-wranka-wranka-wranka-wranka-wranka-wranka!*
Okay, probably not. I look pretty damned stupid playing air guitar.
Maybe I'll just drag down property values and put on Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols.
