I love the idea of a medieval bangle; perhaps I should get one made? I think I've solved it... a scene did need axing open and merging with an earlier episode. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />Angela, thank you. A good night's sleep did it for me! I got up early and hacked it all up and it's looking lots fresher now.<br /><br />Kangaroobee, it's recognising when the words need a break, isn't it? I certainly find editing tough.<br /><br />Thanks Su. I have to say I couldn't even finish that movie; not my kind of thing.<br /><br />Erica and Christy, thank you.Jenny Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640209636605410939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-74340104471582341592010-10-24T01:21:30.577+07:002010-10-24T01:21:30.577+07:00Sorry to hear you've been going through a toug...Sorry to hear you've been going through a tough time.

I ...Yes ditto about your daughter being well again. I hope that you will be able to sort out the editing tussle you feel you are in. I've been editing too between blogging and getting ready for a gazillion things! Life is what happens when we are busy right--without it we wouldn't be writers so don't feel horribly obligated to your blog when family needs you. We understand. For me, editing is fun, but I too dislike it when I feel I am stuck somewhere with it. Take a little break and edit a different WIP, or maybe do something fun. Sometimes crafts or doing silly/goofy activities with my children pull me out of my editing tussle.A Pen In Neverland: Angela Peña Dahlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979468109234357616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-23327456473941153372010-10-23T21:38:39.363+07:002010-10-23T21:38:39.363+07:00D'oh I've just worked out that your avatar...D'oh I've just worked out that your avatar isn't some medieval bangle but a tea stain.

It might include general points like 'Extract all dialogue by character and make sure voices are consistent' as well as specific points e.g. 'X's physical appearance is not mentioned anywhere, get this in somewhere' or 'Foreshadow Y's ability to use a gun before the shooting scene'. Then I work through my to-do list, rather than working through the script from page 1 to 'the end'. I know what you mean about every day being Groundhog Day for writers, though - I feel like that about my current first draft. What, you mean I have to write 1000 words again today? But I did that yesterday, aarrgghh.Queeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988379866736219329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-26835772401051419462010-10-23T13:01:35.320+07:002010-10-23T13:01:35.320+07:00Thanks L'Aussie.
