Like it matters...

OK, chicas! Your thoughts, please.

I took the night and morning off from RL and did some editing on Arena.

However, I am editing faster than I am writing new material.

So my question to you is thus...

Is it more tormenting to know that there is text that you haven't seen? In which case I should really push to open the sections up as fast as possible.

Or is it worse when you are reading a WIP, and you have gotten to the last chapter, and you have no hope of anything more until the stupid writer gets that next part down in electrons? In which case, at this point I would try to write a new piece for every piece I opened.

OK. Looking at this, it may possible be the stupidest thing I ever posted in LJ...

Weird

You wanna know what's weird?

I've been making some extensive changes to the later chapters of Arena.

I wrote them when Sennet was still a sympathetic character, before I had the brainwave for him to participate so actively in Sean's betrayal.

I've had to discard a couple of big chunks of text. And I can't quite bring myself to totally ditch them. So they're now sitting around in private entries, staring back out at me from my brain...

Also thinking that when I'm done with this round of editing, I'm going to go back and change the dates on everything so that if you read the journal from start to end, you get them in order. I wrote Initiate last night, for crying out loud, and all of the stuff after their last fight was written originally back in January.
