Housekeeping instead of writing. Sigh.

  A lot of literary housekeeping last night.  Chapters to critique, writer's groups to administer...not enough time to write after all that.  I posted up my alternate pacing for the early part of the book. It's a rough draft, so there's going to be typos and sentences that are unpolished but hopefully folks will be able to tell me whether or not I'm on the right track.
  In line with that, tonight I'm going to tackle the next chapter in the fourth draft.  I want to combine both 'going for a walk' scenes and get Jacob and Jael to town.  Knowing me, it won't be easy.  There's always so much I want to do, I think I get in my own way.
  I have started adding epigrams to the beginning of each chapter.  Nothing long, a sentence or two at most.  I love writing them.  I love the the windows into the world you can create with them.  I plan on using them to answer questions no one asks, in character.  Like what Eidothean magic is*.  Well, we'll see what happens.
  I have a hard deadline that I'm imposing for myself.  Angel Odyssey has to be 'done' and sent out by the end of March.  If I can do that, then I'm on my way to finishing at least one novel a year.  I can do that while working full time, I think.



*Unless I get a bunch of readers who are up on their Greek myths, this one will probably fly over people's heads...sort of like a Chrysaor might.
