Life of the Gallows - IP
I am officially sick and tired of editing this fucking story. See what happens when you get ambitious before you learn some skills?
As I lumbered to the BART station this morning, annoyed by the order of sentences is this rearranged and rearranged piece, I decided that it just needs severe bloodletting. The plan is to start reading it from the beginning, and every time a sentence gets in the way, excise it and put it in a Notes document. Then, if I hit a spot that needs something, I should be able to find it there, but more than likely I will be left with a cohesive story and a bunch of unnecessary lines in a document that I can purge.
That’s the plan. I’ve finished 5 other stories by the time it took me to get this far with this one.
