I'm still working on revisions on the section of Ruby Ransome that I wrote last year during November and December, but for now, progress on my NaNoWriMo 2023 challenge is going well. I've been counting an hour of revising as 1,000 words, which is less than what I'd get in word counts if I were writing, but I suppose marking revisions on the page is a little easier than straight up creating, so the reduced word count equivalent makes sense. But also, 1,000 words makes for a really easy number to apply to my hours worked, since every 15 minutes equals 250 words.
Anyway, with that word count equivalent applied to my revising, I've succeeded in staying at or ahead of par every day for the first week of NaNoWriMo. I haven't succeeded in putting two hours of work into it every day, as I would ideally have liked, but staying ahead of par is still good.
Right now, I would need another hour of work to stay ahead of par for today, but I actually hope to get two hours done at the write-in. That would replace the little buffer that I've lost over the last few days.
Today marks the start of the second week of NaNoWriMo 2023. I'm a little discouraged that I'm not done with revisions yet, but at the same time, I'm pleased with what I wrote last year. I'm marking only a few changes as I go along. For the most part, I'm very satisfied with both the setup and the pacing. Currently I'm less than 30 pages from the end of last year's writing, after which I'll skim the rest of the older material to remind myself of what I'm rewriting and where I was going with it.
Hopefully I'll be ready to start writing new material again by the end of the week!
