Fun with flapper fashions

This is what I spent last night doing:

DONE!

...At least, done with the first stage of revisions: reading through the physical manuscript and marking changes.

A writing vacation

It was not originally intended as a writing vacation -- originally we were going to bring Michael's mom on a trip that we took a few years ago and really loved: Durango and Mesa Verde.  With two foundered horses and a lot of other things going on at her house, though, she just couldn't come.  We came anyway, and I knew from the moment we arrived that it was a good thing I brought my novel.

Picking up speed

In the last few weeks, I've started making some serious progress on Ruby Ransome and Pandora's Box.  I am now only about 60 pages from the end, after marking up 18 whole pages yesterday -- an amount that seemed superhuman only a couple of weeks ago, the first time I did that much.  Currently I am on page 234, and the stack of pages remaining is getting smaller all the time.

Camp NaNoWriMo: Time to sign up for July!

Today the Camp NaNoWriMo website reset, and signup is starting for July's session.  I've set up my novel information with a cover image and a brief synopsis, which you can see on my July 2013 novel page.

I was somewhat disappointed to find out that despite the survey they did after the April session, we won't have the flexibility to set and keep track of page counts instead of word counts this month, after all.  I was really counting on that, since I'll be finishing up revisions in July.  Instead, they gave us the ability to go back and edit our daily word count totals (a feature they introduced on the regular NaNo site last November, so I don't know why it wasn't already set up that way for April).

Camp NaNoWriMo signup and Rebel-friendly changes

I've been impatiently waiting for the Camp NaNoWriMo website to reset from the April session so that I can input my novel information for July.  (Not that the novel information will change much -- I will still be working on revisions for the same novel, but the goal will change.)  I just checked the website yesterday and saw that we will be able to sign up for July starting on June 3rd -- less than a week away!

Passing the halfway mark

Today, for the first time, I am visibly past the halfway mark in my manuscript:

The stack on the left is the pages I've marked, and the stack on the right is the pages I have yet to do.  I'm on page 176 right now out of 292 (and I updated the progress meter in the sidebar to reflect my page count).
