Time for My Nap / myLot

I will be very happy when I finish editing Thread of Evidence. The closer I get to the end, the less sleep I'm getting. I have 117 pages left to edit, so I expect to be finished by the end of the weekend, or sooner. I did get two chapters finished again yesterday. So, naptime, then time to edit. I will be back between chapters as I know there will be two again today. The next chapter has only 6 pages. It will take about an hour or less. The editing is getting easier as I deal with the same problem over and again. I'm fixing it on the read through so the editing takes less time. Who knows, maybe I'll end up as an editor as part of my skills as an author. That will be a huge step for me as I didn't do well in English in school. Using it every day makes a difference. Okay. I'll be back. What are your plans today? Thanks for reading.

Enjoy your nap! I'm sure all that editing makes you tired. My plans for today is to relax and catch up on some tv.

The editing doesn't make me tired. It lights up my imagination, at least now it does that I figured out what the biggest problem was with pacing. The word - had. I'm no longer pulling out my hair. It's because of the book that I'm eager to get back to it, which causes lack of sleep. My brain only allows me enough sleep to say I've slept. I hope you're relaxing and catching up with TV shows. I need to do that too, but I don't know when that will happen. I'm trying to watch one Christmas show/movie a day, but that hasn't happened. I also need to catch up on my programs, which are now on winter break.

I hope you get some done. I'm halfway through a book. I might even finish it by the end of December. It's one I've read before, part of a trilogy. I would like to read a book a month in 2019. We'll see how that goes.

I did better in English than in Italian in school, I hate grammar and Italian grammar is such a mess.

@just4him I have studied none of the really difficult languages to learn, it seems that the hardest are Mandarin, Finnish, Korean, Turkish... I have only studied the easy ones Spanish, French, Italian, German, English.

I think all foreign grammars are a mess. It seems they are inside out. Sentences start in the middle. I never did understand that. Oh well.
