Been working on revising my novel all weekend long. Got into the groove, and I managed to cut out about ten more pages. It was 890, now it is 739, so progress? Or 389,000 words chopped down to 287,132. I may be remembering the first amount wrong for the mathematicians out there.
I'm cutting out all the subplots that don't work. Or don't really go anywhere. Or trying to. My mind comes up with a convoluted world that doesn't always work well in writing.
Whether it ever makes the light of day, is another story.

It's been a nice weekend - no, rain, and I should have frolicked outside, but my allergies have been bugging me, and until today - overcast and somewhat chilly. The allergies - is mainly this mugwort weed that has a side effect of causing massive digestive issues. (In case you missed the previous posts on the topic).
Also, I've got Monday and Tuesday off - well sort of. I have to go into Manhattan aka The City (per most of my co-workers and many Brooklynites) for an Audiology appointment regarding Migraine Dizziness. And two appointments, back to back on Tuesday morning - starting at 9:30 am.
But other than that - I've got most of it off. And I'm using it to work on my novel.

I was going to write about something else, but I can no longer recall what it was. If it returns - it will be in a separate post.
