Instead I have goals that I stick to regardless of the time or what year it is and I keep on trucking. That works better for me personally because I'm always motivated.<br /><br />I like all your ideas for vamping things up. I had no idea about ShabbyBlogs so thanks for letting me know about that!<br /><br />And that's amazing that you cut your ending down to 20 pages. You must have been ruthless! I know how that feels.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-10048000361798884292010-12-14T10:14:58.978-05:002010-12-14T10:14:58.978-05:00What name did you decide on?

I'm right there with you. *offers moral support*<br /><br />I just CUT my wrap-up ending (which wasn't that long), but I killed about 30 pages from my beginning and close to 8K words by just cleaning up phrases--line-by-freaking-line.<br /><br />I'm hoping to be done with this rewrite tomorrow! I'm doing my second-final (that's a HORRIBLE descriptor! second-final? maybe penultimate? that's a lot better)--ahem, penultimate revisions right now. I'm sending out to betas on Thursday (eep! So close!), and I've got a February 1st query launch deadline. Cheers and tears!<br /><br />Good luck with your revisions!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089845691023125664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-62290968768033385242010-12-14T00:19:01.378-05:002010-12-14T00:19:01.378-05:00Very nice to read your post and see all that you a...Very nice to read your post and see all that you are up to. I'm digging the new template, as well.<br /><br />Sounds like you're working hard on that novel, and that's fantastic.
