Where has the month of October gone?

This year in many ways has been very LONG. When I think about all the things that have happened, 2009 stretches miles long. But then when I think of it in other ways, 2009 has flown by leaving me breathless wondering where the time went.

My goal for October was to finish my Act 1 revision. I’ve gotten some headway but I’m not finished so I don’t think I’m going to make my goal.

I would usually say “That’s okay.” But really it isn’t. I believe that I must be more diligent with myself. I need to be my own drill sargent. Because really I need to start meeting some deadlines.

So, I’ve decided to embark on 25 scenes in 25 days. That’s a scene a day. I need focus and I think tackling these scenes on a daily basis will help me get this Act 1 into shape. And even with my hectic work schedule, I should be able to carve some time to revise a scene. I’m sure to revisit these scenes again during the next revision round, but at least for this round, I can do it and move on to Act 2, which by the way has approximately 36 scenes.

So from October 24th until November 17th, I will concentrate on one scene per day.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress on Revision Update Wednesdays.
