Manuscript

I printed out my manuscript today and I'm excited to sit down and read it tonight.

I think I'm at the halfway point but I'm not sure because, well, I've never read it straight through from beginning to end. When I'm writing, I'm so focused on the writing itself that sometimes the plot fades into the background and instead of furthering it, I'll spend three hours re-structuring a paragraph... or sometimes a sentence.

Or I'll get caught up researching a detail to assure its historical accuracy... to the point that I won't rest until I find evidence in a primary source and the next thing I know, hours have passed.

So, tonight I'm going to read and see what I've been writing - let's hope it reads like a book!
