This is for Wendy

A few things that still count as “working on your MS”, even if no new words are being generated:

-research
-market/agent research
-editing
-character art
-outlining
-brainstorming

Can anyone think of any others?

So things like ‘watching Dancing with the Stars’, ‘attending Vancouver Craft Beer Week events’, and ‘idly contemplating character interactions while doing dishes’…. those don’t really count, right? (Well the doing dishes one might.)

I’m down with the noodling, editing, and thinkologizing, though. Those I have been doing. Also Maassing, a little bit. And prompterating, a little.

You forgot walking and mulling. Those are very important.
