@Daeus okay. I got 984 written. I’m trying to slow down and pay attention to the length/spacing of my sentences so they’re an even mix of different lengths. Once I get into the habit it will be easier, but I’m pretty happy with the amount I wrote notwithstanding. 🙂

@kate-flournoy I’m gonna stop now. I got 823 written.

@Daeus okay. See ya.

@kate-flournoy You’ve been tapped.

@Daeus okay. Tag me when you start.

@kate-flournoy. Um, yeah. I’ll just take break for ten minutes or so and then I’ll be there.

@Daeus ooh wow, fun! Starting a new project is always exciting. I’m writing now— probably will be until 10:50. You on?

@kate-flournoy I finished up the first chapter to my time travel story and now I’m plotting the next one.

@Daeus 173 words. You?

@kate-flournoy Nice.

“The pen is mightier than the tomato.”

That’s the best thing I’ve heard in a long time, @Daeus. 😉

And whew, you were up early. Or maybe I was up late… I don’t know. But I can write for about twenty minutes now.

@kate-flournoy Ok, I’m up and ready whenever you think you can join in.

@kate-flournoy Ok, good. I’ll try to be there by six if I can.

I’m reminded of a saying right about now that I think is very applicable. I think it was penned by Longfellow. If I remember correctly, it says, “The pen is mightier than the tomato.”

@Daeus yes sir. Planning on it. Tomato minions may get in the way, but I’m planning on doing as much as I can.

Ooops, sorry I missed that @bluejay. Would have liked to.

Oh, yes! I knew I had something to ask. @kate-flournoy are you writeathoning tomorrow?

Sorry @bluejay. My dinner’s in just a moment.

Ok people, this is like my topic, so I might just say a thing or two.

As I already mentioned, rewriting is, in my opinion, the most educational thing a writer can do. Forcing yourself to fix major problems teaches yourself so much about how you actually write and how it should look in contrast. Here are some of my biggest lessons.

@Daeus good idea. Okay people— so near the beginning of the book I had it so one character would be teaching another to sword-fight. I spent quite a bit of time developing their relationship prior to that— one character is so stubborn he wouldn’t have let the other character teach him if they hadn’t known each other for quite some time.
