My Week in Review and Writing Links
Hello everyone. Happy Friday. Sheesh, this has felt like a looong week. Not that I’m wishing my life away, but I’m glad it’s the weekend, lol. While making progress on my WIP, I came up with one of those lines that made me think, ooh I love that …
‘Cautiously, they picked their way through empty streets, inhabited only by litter and signs of old violence.’
Today sees me breaking past the 20,000 word mark.
This week’s quote resonates with me. I’m one of those writers who struggles not to edit or revise as I go along. But I’m finding when I manage to just let it flow, it goes better. How about you?
I hope this finds all of you well, and here’s wishing you a good weekend.
Here are this week’s writing links …

I’ve heard arguments on both sides of the editing as you go controversy. My sister and I exchange chapters as we are writing and critique each other’s work. So, when I get her comments back, I usually put them in before I move forward. But, doing that does break the flow. I absolutely love that line, Harmony! Wow! Talk about a visual.
So thrilled you love the line, Jan. Thanks! Hope you’re having a great weekend ?
What a great visual I get from from your line. A pka e I’d be nervous to be walking! Have a great weekend:)
Place. As you can see I edit later…
?
So glad you like the line, Denise. Have a lovely weekend ?
I have a habit of always reading my last chapter before I start writing. There are always a few things that poke out and need trimming. Then I move forward with less concern, because I’ll shape it up when it becomes the last chapter I wrote.
I’m reading the last chapter before I begin the day’s writing too. Not tweaking as I go is new for me but I want to stick at it. Have a great weekend ?
Love the Ray Bradbury quote. And yours. Glad your work is moving along. I edit as I go. I can’t help it. I get antsy if I don’t fix things.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks, Staci. Glad you like the quotes. Have a great weekend ?
