5 chapters down, 1 to go on the revision of my NBB. I'm almost there. Oh, what a monster it is... it's currently projected to be 75K long, with 3K projected to go.

What I say to that: AH-AHAHAHAH-HAHAHAHA.

I have yet to write the five small interludes that are going to be about 750-1000 words each. And each time I revise a scene, I'm still adding about 500-1500 words to it. And I've three scenes to revise.

I'm sure you all could do the math.

Anyway, it's slow going. I did not look at the thing for over a week, so now I feel a week behind. There's just so much to trudge through, and it could use at *least* two more passes through before I'm happy with it. And even then...

On the plus side, I have the time to work on it this week. I also need to work on my part of the art work for [livejournal.com profile] lady_songsmith that I'm doing with [livejournal.com profile] rthstewart. And, of course, formatting this will be fun since every other word is italicized. It's going to be a mad dash to the end, that's for sure!

Anyway... I'll see you on the other side! I need to get back to some Elephants.

DOOM AND GLOOM is the common mood around here right now, right? It is almost a relief to see that I'm not the only one who's near-panicking.

Had a bad day yesterday which meant no time to work on NBB. And today I've been writing a paper due on Monday that I really should have started before today. Plus, another paper is due on Thursday, and a group project paper is due next Sunday. GAH. HOWWWW am I going to survive this week of crazy writing!?!

OTOH, it is going to be absolutely AMAZING to be finished, right? I think the only thing keeping me from despair is knowing that I'll be rewarded by a huge sense of accomplishment if (when!) I pull this off.

(And just want to add: don't feel bad about sending your chapters for a read through. I seriously enjoyed the first section and I'm looking forward to taking a break from all my own writing to read someone else's tomorrow. :P )

Good luck to you both! I've had sneak peeks of both, I love them both, and I cannot wait for the finished project!!!
