So how are you doing? What’s motivating you to write these days and what’s keeping you back?

@daeus-lamb It’s literally Monday night, but here’s the final draft: The Favor: Final Draft

Writing outside has been a wonderful experience for me, and I wanted to sell you on the idea. 🙂

Why to write outside

I’m writing this post outside. The sun is shining, and some trees provide shade. The stream is full and bubbling and a wind stirs the leaves.

Have I convinced you yet? Write outside!

I did rewrite the beginning to be a little slower, and I accepted most of Kate and Archer’s suggestions, so if you wanted to give it a second/final readthrough before Monday night to catch any last minute details?

Sorry I wasn’t able to get started sooner, we’re in the end-of-the-year craze right now, and some major projects are being wrapped up.

If I can get something basic out in the next couple of days, we can do a quick editing phase? I’ll try  to keep it short.

I’m not the kind of person who asks for work to be edited until I know it’s as good as I can make it, so I’ll probably end up replotting the book and then rewriting it 😛

That’ll be fun.
