Diary Of An Edit #3

More thoughts while editing. I’m not sure how but I really think that this is helping me. As before- each line is a separate thought. I actually spent more time editing today so this piece is a bit longer.

-

Found a new song to go with one of my characters. I’ll have to share it later. ‘Come Back Down’ from Lifehouse.

I’m not looking forward to editing this next part but once I get over it… maybe it won’t be so hard.

No! Don’t make me do it!

I’m so glad this isn’t my final edit ’cause this paragraph sucks big time.

*bangs head against wall*

Okay, I’m rewriting that.

Sucking less.

They need support groups for editing. Hmm, maybe that’s something I should look into making. I always need another project to keep me procrastinating.

I’m hating this process. Hate, hate, hate it.

Getting a little easier but I feel like I might be away from the point I was aiming for… but it’s alright if the flow is coming easy… right?

Going better than I thought.

Sucks less.

Still feel like I’m straying. Does coming full circle count in introductive scenes if it’s such a wide circle or am I just taking too long to get to the point?

That went well, now I have to work with this horrible transition.

Sometimes you have to scribble before you can paint.

*crying, loathing* Not fair.

I’ve been starring at the page too long. Time for a break.

Fave paragraph of the moment:

It was a place she had heard of half a dozen times and even passed by a few others but had never bothered to enter simply because it seemed to have an air all it’s own in comparison to all the other hot spots she’d seen. A good portion of the crowd was full of the usual wannabes, clubbers dressed to the nines in anything they thought might catch the doormen’s attention, loud people looking to have a good time… but these people were still a minority compared to the ‘others,’ the people between the people waiting in line.

The ones who watched everything.
