I do that especially if I'm interrupted for any length of time, such as happened with that dratted surgery. Mostly, though, if you can stand to do it, pushing through and dumping out all the words until you can see "The End," works very well.Marsha Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-69575460145170211282011-08-06T19:51:45.173-07:002011-08-06T19:51:45.173-07:00That's awesome about 2,000 words.

Haha I used to think writing it was the big deal.<br><br>Then I learned about editing. I'm on #10 now (but I have been learning on this project, too). I hope to be a little faster in future projects. =DDonna K.

Yay, on writing 2000 words. That's a great accomplishment. And so close to the end of your book, too.Debra Erferthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08239033133090036826noreply@blogger.com
