bloodyrosemccoy | Sharpie Assault

Printed out the finished episodes of Doctors! yesterday. I’ve been realizing that my eyes tend to fall off the computer screen, and I have difficulty with the inability to scribble in the margins. Boldfaced Fix This notes just don’t work very well. I feel like I know where I am with physical pages.

Plus, this way I can attack them with my new Sharpies.

Granted, wihle a lot of the edits are proofreading, crossing out, and checking continuity of the Space Stuff, a lot more are pretty much notes saying Fix This, Add [Element], Double Check Medical Talk, Totally Dumb, etc.. But it feels a lot more organized now.

I’m kinda jumping the gun, but I haven’t been able to compose anything much lately because I keep looking back at the jumbled bits beforehand and worrying. But the Sharpie-scribble’s making me feel like I’m doing something, so I’ll be able to move on without getting all twitchy soon.

There’s nothing more satisfying than a big old stack of YOUR NOVEL, either. And I think proving I’m doing something is a big part of the appeal.
