Thats my word for you. I tend to do 'eve...Cycles. <BR/><BR/>Thats my word for you. I tend to do 'everything' in cycles. That was quite the revelation to me when I finally figured that out I can tell you. :-) But the point is, my reading and writing seem to go in cycles just like everything else. <BR/><BR/>I got <I>stuck</I> on one area in my ms -- for weeks! I know now that I did make progress - just really slow compared to my 20 page a day routine before that. And I think I <I>needed</I> to go that slow to work out all the kinks in that chapter(which affected the whole book soo very much). Because now... it's awesome! Or I like it at least. :-) A whole lot better them before I began this re edit. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I'm back in a groove though that I much prefer - 5-6 pages a day of editing. (Big difference to me from that and just writing) I print off a chapter at a time. Then mark it up with red throughout the day and hopefully by the next time slot that I have open to write on the computer(when the kids are down)I have 2-3 pages all ready! Its been going awesome! <BR/><BR/>My reading is the same - though it has a lot with my being able to find the type of books I want. Our library is 'old' and 'small' and lately seems to have run out of the type I want. So I'm doing something new for me - I'm buying - not too sure my hubby likes it but... "shrug" oh well. <BR/><BR/>And I read in one way - if the book is any good - fast, all consuming and nothing else gets done until I'm done. :-) Its still a cycle though - I'll read 2-3 books all at once and then have to go 2-3 weeks without any. :-( But hey - its easier on the family that way too - they get to eat and wear clean laundry once in a while that way! <BR/><BR/>I suppose you didn't want a whole chapter on this but today - I'm in the long winded cycle - :-) <BR/><BR/>hehehe, bet you can't tell!<BR/><BR/>ColeCole Reisinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017101938082651422noreply@blogger.com
