Last Friday afternoon, at precisely
4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, the alarm on my iPhone sounded, indicating the moratorium
on Cooking Athanasia was over. I did
not officially start editing until Saturday morning because I had finally
wrapped m head around the new project, Echoes
of Enchantment, and had built up a full head of steam by Friday, which
resulted in the completion of Chapter 3.
So I blew three weeks of dust from
the manuscript Saturday morning and, armed with a purple pen, started the
markup process on the manuscript. Because splitting my time between two
projects felt odd, on Sunday, during confessional, I asked my support group if
any of them had ever written on one project while editing another. The
overwhelming answer was to the negative, that they had never split their time
between projects in such a manner. That answer was somewhat of a relief to me because
it validated my instinct that I should probably commit to editing or writing. Sadly,
that means Echoes goes to the back
burner once again while I try to get through editing as quickly and painlessly
as possible.
Just as a reminder for people who don’t
know, Echoes of Enchantment is the
second book in the Athanasia Trilogy, and the back story to Cooking Athanasia. The tale is already
written, but in screenplay format as per the rules for Script Frenzy, which I
won last year. If you would like a taste of Echoes,
I invite to take a peek at one of my old blogs introducing the story that I wrote
last year during the throes of Screnzy.
