Having read some excellent advice and hints that [livejournal.com profile] harmony_bites put together for new writers, I have spent the better part of today going through my original work, applying the advice, or trying to at least. I've reached page 14 and the manuscript is about 5k words shorter now. Hm.

I never realised that deleting lots of unnecessary words could be painful. *snerk* And the prologue really makes me want to tear my hair out because I just don't know how to do this entire thing without one. *grumble*

And the weather. Just. Sucks. I'm going swimming now.

This kind of weather should be illegal, I swear! And I hear the forecast is for even hotter *whimpers_weakly*

I know what you mean about public swimming pools - it's similar here, and we only ever went once. Now we tend to go to the more expensive place, which in the end isn't that much more because they allow up to 3 hours, and if you stay that long then it's only marginally more expensive than the public pools.

I think personally I probably wouldn't really care about the goldfish, just gimme some water to cool down in *snerk* Besides, goldfish apparently have really short memory, so they think it's normal that you're in there with them after about 30 seconds or so, LOL.
