Well it took me five hours, but I did a complete rewrite of my script in one day. I decided this morning that I was going to do the whole revision in one day, come hell or high water.
Fortunately as I get better as a writer, I have to change fewer major plot elements and more general character bits. I had to make one major change, but most of the work was dialogue that sounded the same or unrealistic and whatnot.
So it wasn't the most difficult rewrite I ever had to do, but still. Five hours straight of writing is exhausting. I feel like I should have vacuumed or made dinner or something, because saying you sat in front of a computer all day and didn't leave your office sounds like the laziest thing in the world, but I am tired.
But dammit I got it done.

Yay! Well done Emily!
ReplyDeleteTreat yourself to an overdose of Luc Besson to celebrate!
;)
No rush - I'm fine for another two weeks.
The biggest marathon writing session I have ever done was 12+ hours. I wrote through the night, and did something like 30 pages.
ReplyDeleteIt was exhausting on a level I had never felt before, and am hesitant to say I've felt since.
Well done. I can re-write in one sitting if I have to. You did great. Hope it brings you every success.

Twelve hours. Oof. That's impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn.
And Karel, I know, I know.... It turned out to be way more work than I thought. But my stupid class is over so I just got a bunch more time in my day. I'm on it, I swear.
