Finished the second draft last night of the article due Feb. 5th. For all intents and purposes it’s complete–my second drafts are for adding quotes, transitions, making sure all names and author information is correct. Yesterday I received responses from two more fiction/freelance authors, so I added in a quote from each. I think it’s 98% done. Just need that fine-toothed editing comb to tighten and activate my words…the funnest part of writing. (Yeah, I know. I’m allowed to use “funnest”).
Even cooler is that, unlike every day of my past three years, I don’t have to put my writing on a shelf to get back to the grad research–I get to write again! Next up is a short (comparatively, anyway–1500 vs. 3000 words) article on female spies in the Civil War. Due Feb. 15th. I could really dig this freelance writing stuff…learning about things I didn’t know existed.
And speaking of fiction, still awaiting editorial word if the short short was accepted. We’ll see.
