I started my rewrite today, managed exactly 1008 carefully chosen words before I started producing nonsense. Not a bad beginning...
I'm going to aim for 1000 well-crafted words a day for the time being and see how that goes. As I'm only keeping 10% of the original first draft for this story I'm determined to get it right this time, so that the next edit will be words changed here and there rather than a complete slash and burn!
As I only got five hours sleep last night I'm going for a nap. Good night.
