I not only started the revisions on BTC, I started a new book!
Oh my gosh! Am I crazy or what?
Mornings are still the best for writing first drafts and I don’t want to mess with that routine (or would that be muscle). It’s working tooooo well. But I can revise/edit anytime (I hope…we’ll see). And since I gave myself a deadline to finish revisions by Feb 28th, I’m determined. I only need to work on 13 pages a day. It sure helps to break it down into chunks, let me tell you.
And while I’m doing all the writing and revising, I’m still judging books, thus the lack of information I can give you on these books right now. Here’s what I finished reading this week:

I only have one more judged book to read. Yay! Except it’s in first person, present tense. Boo! I guess I can’t complain too much. I am reading romances, so it’s not all bad. But man, I’ll be glad to get back to my own stack of books.
So… If you find a routine is working, are you afraid to mess with it?
Happy Reading!

Thirteen pages is doable.
Not a fan of first person.
Alex - I can handle first person if it's written well (and if I notice it, I don't consider it written well). But it's hard to enjoy when BOTH characters are written that way and add in present tense... Double whammy!
Very rarely can I stand present tense. If I can read it, it's very well done!
Your new schedule sounds like it's totally working for you - keep it up! Makes total sense to me to write in the AM, and do the other stuff in the afternoon.
Jennette - I made sense? That's gotta be a first. Haha!!
You all will hate my MS when it becomes a book someday, first person present. It just wants to be told that way.
And congrats on finishing one and starting another--way to go!!!
Jeff - I've read ONE book series that I didn't realize was present tense at the time I read it: The Hunger Games. It's one of my favorites, too. It takes real skill to make a reader not notice that, though. I hope you're one of those writers!
