So we skipped the hour of frustration.

The method seems to be working! This is the first time I’m not starting on page 1 and just going through and editing it page by page in sequence.The manuscript was already pretty polished since this was the one that had been submitted to agents and editors. Sticking to one thread of changes at a time is keeping me focused. Otherwise this would be so daunting. By the end, I’ll have made a bunch of passes through the manuscript, concentrating on a different change each time.

You have no idea how many Moleskins I have, for example. SO pretty! And colored little mini post its. Yup, I have those too.

But then I always end up doing everything digitally anyway…

My sister couldn’t stop laughing. But it’s not a comedy.

I’m currently using index cards to help me see the big picture as I plot my next novel. :) You’ve got to find some (excuse the term) anal method of organizing this stuff! It’s too much detail for an unprepared brain to handle. All of the zombies of the world were without a doubt unprepared writers! (Now there’s a paranormal story idea for you. ;D)

I must admit I have a weakness for office supplies. I love buying pens, notebooks, post-its….it’s thrilling for me :P

I went through sooo many of those in college too! Some of the textbooks I have still have the little flag ones in them.

That sounds like a great idea though–that’s gonna be something I’ll try when the time comes.
