So hard!

Revising a novel is necessary. I know.
Knowing and doing something are different things.
I have started my revision, found out, that I let a person die -unconsciously- during writing the novel.
Now, I have to decide, whether the grandfather should be alive or not... I prefer life.
Many characters don´t have a name, I am not very creative in finding names this year.

Again the same problem--too many distracting things around.

How can I stay focused and go on with my revisions without being in the mood for wríting?
Well, force myself could be one way, but I have to take care of my energy this week- a challenging one.
Wait and drink some tea and see, what´ll happen?
Not a good idea, ´cause then I´d never go on with the writing.

Hmm....
Maybe revise some pages a day?
Stop blogging and start writing?
.......................found no answer but a photo.


It feels like heaven;)

  1. First... that more fantastic photo! I love stars and having them around is really outstanding! I loved this picture! Very, very, very much!

    So... who am I to give "advice", but... in your place, I would reserve a few hours of going only to review the novel every day. In life, we must be disciplined when we want to achieve some goal. Otherwise, it becomes a mess of good in the head and every day.
    Whenever I have a new activity to include in my routine, I review my schedule. Hmm... I think: do I really am reserving a good time for the important things?

    Ah... I would like to suggest names for characters, but I think they ought not, because they are Brazilian names. :(
    Don't kill the grandfather, he may be a good solution for the end of the book. The elders are always wiser... generally...

    And finally... (Uff! Sorry...) I wanted to say you not fail to come here when you are reviewing your novel. Come at least once a week to say hello! ;)

    Well, I'm going now.
    Cheers and achievements.
    Beijos e queijos.
    Love.

  4. Teca--thanks for your comments and suggestions; I´ll post another photo of the same "star-hall" , just with another perspective. And the video is really funny- it´s MOZART;)), thanks, and a happy weekend.

    Eli--Thanks for the link, I think, you mean the song with the same title "It feels like heaven", don´t you? The problem is, due to copyright reasons in my country, I cannot watch the video and listen to the music;( Anyway, have a great and relaxing weekend!

  12. Hi, thanks for asking;) It´s just a very busy time and I hope to find some minutes to post something on the weekend. Well, I don´t want to post anything;))
    You wrote about the heavy rain over there, and I read about the floods in Brasil every day. Hope, the situation will be better soon.
    Here it´s raining, too, and we expect snow on the weekend.
    So, how are your holidays? Hopefully relaxing and funny;) Have a nice week, beijos e queijos , too;)

    Everything here in Brasil is resolving.

    I'm enjoying my holiday as much as possible! It's all very good, despite the rain. No problem ... I'm resting too. ;)

    I'll leave a gift for you (if it has not already know):
