Toiletries- done (minus the ones I need in the morning duh) and I did laundry so all of my clothes are clean just not packed yet.

With everything else you have going on, it's hardly surprising - and worthy of some celebration that you managed as much.<br /><br />I tend to like both word count and scene goals - sometimes I use on or the other, and sometimes both. It depends on many factors.<br /><br />I hope your trip will be less unpleasant than you hope, and that there will be words and books in your week away!

I do think when I'm lying around unable to sleep if I should at least be using the time productively.<br /><br />Yes time is short...why do we not yet have time turners? I have been waiting on mine. I'll even take a pause button that works for naps, reading/writing time, whatever I never have time for.

I think all of my writing was at work and most of my reading because at home I might finish a chapter or two of reading and then pass out.

I'm not sure on the movie. It looks cute but it's not exactly a big hook kind of book, so that will be interesting to see how the plot works.<br /><br />Way to go on your writing .. and packing!

As for editing, I don't think I'm the best editor either. I tend to just add more words too. I guess that's where CPs and betas come in handy. They can always point out areas that can be cut or feel redundant.

Scenes seem more managable and I feel better when I finish one even if the word count isn't super high it's a scene! <br /><br />I think everyone knows the wonder of waiting for a replay and hoping it's long if it takes a while and being disappointed when it's like five words and an hour to respond!<br /><br />Yes it's just the weird hours, I love the shifts and the amount I'm okay with but the 11-11 part is just impossible to stick to when on nights on your days off if you want to see anything or anyone lol. Plus some of the sleep issues might be all the amazing books ideas running around in my head begging me to read more to know how they end.<br /><br />Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06122803397688591111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137437789561707142.post-58151027370269577892015-07-20T08:37:33.144-04:002015-07-20T08:37:33.144-04:00I leave next Sunday and I'm dreading it some. ...I leave next Sunday and I'm dreading it some.
