RobinRow80 is a great way to hold yourself accountable for you writing. Yes, the editing is very frustrating, but I have a feeling this first round is going to be easier than the second. Harder choices to be made, then. Thank you very much fo the comments!

Small world! I just stopped by from the SheWrites blogger ball and saw this post. I'm doing ROW80 too! I haven't been good about checking in this week, but I've been sticking to my goals. Glad to hear you're making some progress. Editing can be so frustrating. It sounds like you set a lot of goals for yourself, and you're doing well on most of them, so don't beat yourself up too much if you're not doing everything. There will be a time when you'll be inspired for The Prophet and you'll focus on that instead of the editing. It'll all even out in the end. Oh, and I love the Domo pic 😀

LauraI know it. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I could definitely get a lot more boosk written.StacyThis challenge is great. It's an awesome way to become part of the writing community. But I know all about summer distractions. Thanks!

I'm in awe of this challenge. I know better than to begin it in the summer. We still have a few family trips that will disrupt all. Good luck with revisions.

Revision is a necessary evil. Too bad we can't get it right the first time!

Angela … would you laugh if I saved it? Cause it's still in my purse. Thanks! Good luck on switching to the writing stage. I'm still figuring out how to plan efficiently, lol.

I'm curious, will you be saving that Arby's napkin in a folder forever? Or will you transcribe it to neater paper? ;-)Keep up the good work! I'm ready to switch from planning stage to writing stage next week.

Thanks, Erin. Absolutely! You gotta do what you gotta do. Yuck. I have a FB friend complaining about Chicago, too. Seems like this heat will never break.

Nice job keeping up with your goals and LOL about the writing on a napkin. We do what we gotta do when inspiration strikes, right? I'm in the Chicago area and our heat index is the same today. Blah!

LOL, that's Domo. He's a popular Japanese (I think) cartoon character. Reminds me of my best friend because her hubby says that's what she looks like when she's angry.Thanks for the encouragement. Just have to keep plowing through!
