The joy's of editing.

My wordcount per day has slowed, but that's because I've already done the bulk of the chapter and am now embroiled in that much easier part, the first edit. Funny how scenes that seemed so genius and pivotal when I wrote them appear tacky and clunky a week later.
This is the fastest I've ever written any section of Weathermen. Hopefully I can maintain this sort of pace for the 2nd draft edit (and then my 2nd novel... and my third... ah, dreams.)
To you folk whom I promised the manuscript of Chapter 6 when it's done... gimme two weeks, tops. I promise.
