1) Double-checked one manuscript and sent it back to author.

2) Continued to edit new manuscript.

3) Transcribed and did first edits on critiques of two chapters of a book; the chapters will be divvied up and posted over the next five weeks. (That's 102 pages of work, not counting the additions of pics, vids, macros, songs and links.)

4) Submitted first critique to my co-critic and made corrections.

5) Sent the first corrected critique off to our beta.

6) Submitted second critique to my co-critic.

7) Wrote the Introduction to the start of the critique of the third book we'll be doing.

I got a lot done...but none of it was fandom writing or original writing. *sigh*

Editing is just as important as pushing out words though -- every garden needs weeding from time to time.

I wish I could say that I was editing my own work! But no. This were projects I was doing for work. I'm a freelance editor and currently unpaid reviewer (though I wish that I were getting paid for reviewing this series), and both things take time.

I am glad that I got those projects out of the way, though. That's a relief.

Well, if you have to do all that for work, I'm not surprised you don't have much energy left over for writing! I hope next week is better for you.
