A Few Notes While I Edit
*Excedrin is a miracle worker. The overal fug(1) that had wrapped around my head and suffocated off all of my energy and left me feeling like I'd been rolled over by a steamroller - GONE. Just two little white pills.(1) Fug is a stuffy atmosphere: a stale or airless atmosphere.
*I have a very bad habit of using dashes, emdashes, and hyphens with reckless abandon. Must stop. Now. Without abusing periods, commas, and ellipses.
*Since I'm all perky (thanks to that lovely Excedrin boost), I'm going to see how far I can get in UF. 1000 new words tonight would be splendid. Am working in the adult first person pov version right now.

Oh how I love the emdash. I have to watch myself all the time.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Somehow or other I got into the nasty habit of using it in every single sentence and didn't notice until I got around to editing that novel. Ugh.
