November is flying by at a lightning speed and my goal of 45 hours of revision work is starting to look a little insane. As of today, I’ve got 32 hours to go. Um, yeah. The semester is wrapping up, which means an endless hill of grading on my desk. Thanksgiving is coming, which means a trip to grandma’s house. All in all, events not conducive to the writing process.

But next week, starting tomorrow, things are a little different. Next week marks a variation in my usual schedule — a variation that I cannot describe in too much detail for fear of giving away my Top Secret Identity. Let’s just say, I will not be on my usual routine and I have high hopes that the slight change of pace I will be experiencing will be the impetus for a Big Week of InDWriMo productivity. Frankly, if it’s not next week, it ain’t gonna happen.

The good news is that I am really into my revisions. Three weeks ago I couldn’t bear to even think about my book — I was just nauseous with the stress and unhappiness. But, thanks to InDWriMo, I’ve gotten into a groove working on it. It’s too soon to say that InDWriMo saved my book but I will venture to say: progress has been made.

Updated to add: My blog seems to have been taken over by some evil trolls who are somehow redirecting folks from sites I have linked to, to sites designed to sell stuff. So, apologies to anyone who’s followed a link from here and ended up on some weird site. I can’t figure out how to fix it, ‘cuz I don’t really understand why it’s happening.
