So hear you on revisions. I just pasted my yesterday's efforts in the Tapas draft, and yeah, 2 parts. So, I now have 6 parts that need to be edited backstage to prep this book for beta reading, and I am only good through Thursday on the Trapped by the mafia. Ouch!
Once trapped finished posting it will get a little easier, I think, but I dunno if I left myself enough of a breathing room with my projected release date.
1.1K is awesome!
Oh yeah! I only have myself covered for like a week. I was looking at one of my chapters the other day and I was like 
. It was good but it wasn't great. I had to remind myself that it was a transitional chapter and if I didn't have it, I'd through off the entire timeline for the piece.
I am so tempted to close "The Museum". I still want to keep writing adventures but it might need to go hiatus so I can create a new season for the sake of what little sanity I still have.
I have all my chapters, but I have to edit them, And I am not an enthusiastic editor. It takes me forever. 
Oh, well, such is life!
Such is the life we chose. Haha. I like to edit as I go or else I start to hate my work. I reworked my first story to death before I got brave enough to start posting it.
I prefer to edit the heck out of it before posting. Some new novels that are in a bad shape don't get any response, but the others do, yes. Still I believe firmly that the law is:
There are no drawbacks to good grammar and clear delivery.
Plus, soft Russian-themed werewolf BL is not exactly the bull's eye hit for demographics here (and, yes, I am worried), so I want it as perfect as possible.
What I find is easy is to write it how it would be on Wattpad and then either make the chapter a two-part update on Tapas or allow one chapter to become two chapters. I find that I'm able to keep my story together without adding anything to the original storyline. Some days it's just a short chapter but I feel like the story still needs to be how you originally intended it to be. And don't worry about word count. Because it's all how you want it to flow.
One of my readers told me that my angel-demon project idea was a lot like Lucifer, the movie. Which makes me glad I am writing my Cute werewolf story. Not that it is brimming with originality, but still.
Anyway, I am thinking to start slow today, editing the previous chapter, looking at the balance of dialogues between the three characters, maybe weaving in a few descriptions if it doesn’t slow getting to the main point.
I have been tormented by how the story ends—the quick glimpse of the doomed romance between two side-characters, then, echoing it, the resolution of the main romance, the Big Kiss thing... I like it, but wonder if it is a wrong thing to have a hetero side couple, even doomed, in a BL fiction.
(Sigh) I have a bad feeling it is going to fail, but eh, well, if it does, all the more reasons to stop writing, start editing.
I hope so. My main eventual romantic couple and the love story revolves around three men, neither of whom is bisexual.
Still hard at work on a very difficult editing job for a person convinced she's the next Billy Wilder. 
Part of the notes I'm taking includes:
"Um, when you write a scene in a movie, we need a TIME. You can't just keep saying DAY and NIGHT, especially if time passes. Your scene should include "a few days later" or "the next day" or "3 years", etc. etc. I know you insisted you learned under James Cameron. Don't make me call James Cameron's rep and bitch at him." 
This made me laugh. I agree with including "time" in your work. Even a lot of TV shows and movies don't account for time. They'll make the whole action seem like a day or two when in reality, solving mysteries (for example) would take several weeks or months.
Ahhh, it's funny now, but guess what? Soon we get to present this to Rami Malek's representative.
We've already made the query letter. It'll start:
"Please acknowledge receipt of this screenplay. We're very, very sorry."
I'm putzing along some more with my writing while I continue doodle-practice, I think I managed about 2k words yesterday in total.
I've made good progress in the last couple of weeks. I've combined all the scripting I've done for the various chapters of one of my series, just to gauge where I'm at:
15 Pages
7,510 Words
36,167 Characters (without spaces)
Still have so long to go, but I'm encouraged that once my art skills are decent enough to start official art, I will have a solid/edited/finalized script to work off of. Then, other than random editing and continuity checks, it will just be about plugging away at the art. No guessing or trying to figure out how the story ought to unfold.
I should note I probably have doubled that amount but it's just filling out character sheets/random plots/world-building info/etc.
I need to make up the words I didn’t get in yesterday (I fell short about 300 words). I might challenge myself with this arc of my story and not make a proper outline and go off the plot points, it’s the last thing I wanna do now 
.
~also~ I’ll force myself to get a chapter ahead because next week I want to focus on catching up on people’s stories and drawing.
Ah, sooo sleepy!
Got to 14.7K words, after introducing everyone, now I need to write the second lore banter, this one is more complicated than the first, tomorrow.
But I also straightened out the order of events in the outline and fleshed out a couple of plot points in the ancient storyline.
All and all, not bad!
I woke up with the plan to finish editing Trapped by the Mafia, but after a couple of hours... lol, nope. There is almost 5 chapters still to go, and they are my chapters, not Tapas. So... going to call it good enough on the Trapped, go to the gym, then edit WIP... ouch. Much work & no sexy word counts to report.
What’s up, everyone?
