Hi.
Only hours remain before April Camp NaNo is over. The structure is different than November NaNo. You get assigned cabins. Like going away to camp!
You can request cabin mates, so the members of my on-line writing group as well as a British NaNo friend were all in the same cabin. There were also seven people we hadn't met before camp. We had s'mores, scimitars, and chocolate wine. Also Baileys and Guinness and cocoa. Some reached their goals and others didn't, but we had some fun conversations.
I signed up to edit for 25 hours on Rising Tide. I put in more than 27. The final battle scene is longer now and I punched up Rori's role at the end (as requested by beta reader Theresa L). Just a few more tweaks and it will be time to start on synopsis and query.
Scary.
I read five of the seven volumes in Kate Elliott's Crown of Stars series. (I read the first two books in March.) Ms Elliott writes epic fantasy. Each of these books was about 600 pages long (mass market paperbacks). I enjoyed the series, but I like her Spiritwalker series better.
And that pretty much accounts for my free time for the entire month of April.

Dithering
At this evening's on-line writing group* meeting, we decided we like the term "dithering" better than "editing." It has a more friendly sound, and it's definitely less daunting.
It's also a good description of the process. "Should I phrase it like this or like that?" See - dithering!
*present were Laurie (http://teapotmusings.blogspot.com), Cathy (http://idahocat.blogspot.com), Terri (if she has a blog it's secret) and me.
