It feels a very  long time since I wrote that I had received my first structural edit from Gill. In fact, it was November 7th so only 3 weeks ago.

Those three weeks have been pretty full on with fitting big blocks of writing time into my normal schedule. It has meant eschewing some things- mainly email and Facebook so not that drastic.

I have worked bloody hard I must say and wrote the final words of draft 2 today :) Draft 1 took me 6 or 7 months so three weeks is not bad. There have been plenty of times when I thought I would never ever finish re-working it though .

Yesterday afternoon, I started writing at 1.30pm and had one refreshment break (10mins), the next time I looked at my clock, it was 7.15pm. How is that for total absorption and dedication? I was rather hungry!

 hope to get it back to Gill by the end of this week after a few tweaks.
