Bits and Pieces

I went and lost track of the days again, what with the busy weekend and it being finals week. Derp. In any case, I've been trying to get things done, and today I thought I'd share the method that keeps me sane through revisions.

When I'm heavy into revisions and it starts to get daunting, I, personally, run the risk of falling off the wagon. It gets overwhelming sometimes, especially if there's a lot of work to be done, and I just can't always handle the sheer amount. So what do I do? I break it up. If it's really bad, I'll copy-paste each chapter into its own document as I work on it and then copy-paste it back into the main doc when I'm done. Sometimes I'll do it in chapter chunks, or half a chapter at a time.

I've got multiple "editing files" for different projects, and as of right now, I think Pixiehunter is in three, with one being the main doc, one being the chapter I'm working on, and one being everything from the current chapter until the end. It works for me, and usually when a friend says they're getting nothing done revisions-wise, I suggest trying that.

What about you guys? Any revision tricks or methods you'd like to share?

Hope everyone had at least a halfway-decent Monday. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to Minecraft write.
