My book almost halfway edited

My book is almost half way edited.  This is good.  Very good.  My carpal tunnel is acting up.  I'm glad for the two foam writ rests my chiro recommended. 

Tomorrow, I think I'll go over the book, The Art of Styling Sentences.  This book is a good book.  So simplistic, yet so thourough.  I swear, this book has increased the diversity of the sentences that I use by at least fifty percent. 

Well, I'm 1/3 through the edits of my book

It's HARD.  And yet easy.  There are points within the creative process which are elating...points where I believe it all comes together.  Its funny how you can go over it again, and say...there it is...another mistake.  Another adverb or adjective or gerund or negative or "to be" verb, to clean and recompose. 

Editing my book

Well, I'm at page four of my book, in terms of editing.  It takes longer, sometimes, to edit, then to write. 

On a side note:  Why do dogs bark?  What, specifically, is the psychological process which goes through their mind...is it insecurity....a show of bravado....genuine concern for their owners property?  I've explored these questions in Magnum and Me, and Canine Consciousness...the mind of the canine is a strange thing to behold...

Editing

Well, I'm starting to edit my memoir.  Yippy.  I actually like editing.  Really. 

A washout day

I didn't sleep well last night.  The neighbours dog kept on barking.  There was a bang at the side of the house at 4:00 am. 

The thing I don't like about sleepless nights are the lack of, or decrease in optimum productivity the following day. 

oh well...tonight I go to bed early. 

Trance music New Order Music

Lately, I've been listening to trance music in the morning - Paul Van Dyk, anything I can find on youtube.com    Also, New Order, some stuff from the early 2000 is good...its good for exercising and skipping and jumping. 

One more week and I'll begin the edits to my book. 

Right now I'm reading Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamont which is proving to be a an amusing book...I rather like her twisted, deranged sense of humour - a humour I share. 

editing a novel

Right now, I'm editing someones novel.  Its an interesting process.  I rather like it.  She gave the book to ten different people, and is compiling our feedback.  Its a book, my favorite type, with mystical elements, and vatican, religious intrigue. 

I think its rather good (ha ha, rather good is a terrible, unclear abstraction that I prune, like a awful weed, out of my writing), except, some language needs to be tightened - passive verbs, gerunds, too many adverbs and adjectives and cliches. 

Right now, I see a bunny rabbit out my window.  The other day, my dog got her teeth into a juicy rabbit.  I pulled it (the rabbit)out of her mouth....then, since it was half dead, I decided it had to be put out of its misery....so I had two decisions: me, with a dull axe, or Ema, with her strong Rottweiller jaw, to finish the job. 

I chose the ladder.  Boy did Ema love to finish off that bunny.  Then, I gave the rabbit a uncermonial burial, over the side of the creek.  I'm a vegetarian.  I don't like blood, mayhem and murder.  It made me sad, but made Ema's day, which made me happy.
