March is National Novel Editing Month, a writing event that I've been involved in organising since 2007. With my disjointed start to the writing year I haven't been able to throw myself fully into preparing for the editing frenzy. That is until today. I saw some fabulous participant icons from our new graphic designer and got the first responses from authors we contacted for articles on revision. I was thrilled to have writers and bloggers like Lynn Viehl, Sasha White and Lani Diane Rich offer to write articles to educate and encourage all our participants.

This excitement was infectious and I found myself revising Scene 29 of Family Trust. It's the first revision I've done in almost four weeks. I like to think that writing my blog post yesterday about falling in love with your story got me in the right frame of mind. I haven't blogged about any writing goals for February yet but in my Think Sideways work group I admitted to wanting to revise 10 scenes this month. I'd like to regain the momentum I've had and I'm even entertaining the thought of participating in NaNoEdMo with aim of finishing the revision.

In the meantime check out Alisa Libby's guest post at Through The Tollbooth on a revision technique that follows on well from yesterday's post.
