I've started going over the first draft of UG just to clarify some parts and make sure things are consistent before I print it up and do a red pen draft. I know I made changes later in the book that aren't supported earlier, and it's easier to work that up now than to mess it up with unnecessary notes.
I also watched an episode of Vera to make sure I was getting what little I do with police procedure right, in the UK. I should have gone to Prime Suspect, not because Vera was bad but because Britbox did the irritating thing of leaving the commercial titles on the video and for a short period the streaming was interrupted. I'm done with them.
I thought of shifting to FilmStruck to watch movies because they've got lots of classics and are working with Criterion, if I understand their spiel right. But 3 out of the 4 movies I checked on weren't available through them...things like Come Back, Little Sheba and La Dolce Vita. I'm not spending $11.00 a month and not getting everything I want.
Anyway, another reason I do a printout of my writing to make corrections is so I have a physical copy where I can make notes of things to add, not just put them in a folder and reread them and try to remember where that is in the file. I separate each chapter with a divider, just like in high school, and bounce around that way.
This is how I worked A65 and how I started working APoS. I'll go through this draft, input the changes and print it up, again, then set it aside and work on getting a first draft of APoS done. My goal is to have that one set up for rewriting by the end of the year. UG I'm aiming to publish around Thanksgiving.
I set goals...can't say I don't that...
