32 Pages Remain

32 pages remain for the hand edit to digital conversion. I've devoted more time to the effort now. I find that I can go for two hour stretches without getting out of the seat or getting distracted.

Getting distracted has been a real problem for me in the past. Reading books or magazines being the biggest culprit. I'm using an old computer to write on. I stipped most everything off of it. No games or internet capabilities. The only thing I left were music and pictures. Both are more inspirational than diverting.

Music in particular is helpful. It helps to keep parts of my brain from being bored. I also use it to put me into certain moods. Brooding, sad, joyous, and so on. Most of the time I listen to a set list of maybe 50 songs. Then I flip back and forth between maybe 10 cds. There's just enough variety in there.

I hope to slam out the remaining pages in the next two days. Then its back for another on screen edit. We'll see where things stand from there. I'm going to shift my focus from self publishing to traditional publishing, so I'm starting to work on query letters and plot summaries and all that. More on that later.
