Revisions with me are proving to be mind over matter. I was exhausted tonight, and the temptation to turn in early and get a good rest was strong. But I get to sleep in tomorrow (working late - planned for once - so going in late) so I made myself take the little yellow pill and it perked me right up.
I picked up where I left off with Chapter 12 and started cutting some more. Among tonight's casualties: my beloved "takedowns" scene, or most of it. *sigh* All told I cut about 2500 words, and that only from chapters 12-16.
The rest of the time was spent adding a new scene, or most of one. A little over 500 words. Alec and Janet discussing their future, not knowing Elspeth is nearby and the sight of them kissing will send her off to Glencoe alone...
All in all, I'm pleased. Yay, caffeine. *g*
