Trying to find the time

Got a bit of writing done last night. Problem is my two year old doesn't go down until almost 8 pm. At that point, between washing dishes (if I get to it) laundry and showering myself, I don't get to the computer until about 8:45. At least DH decides to leave to go watch football so I can have a good chunk of writing time although this happens maybe once or twice every few weeks.

I go into these zones when I write. When I sit down at 8:45, it is 9:45 the next time I look at the clock. Ten fifteen the next time I glance. Time can go so slowly but when I start writing it just speeds itself up and I never feel like I have enough time. Last night I felt completely short on time. I was still writing when DH came home at 11:15, and then we went to bed.

This is how most of my stuff is written. In these short two hours spurts of time.

Last night, I did a bit of actual writing on chapter seven, which is a pivitol chapter for Harry in this story. The main story only has eight chapters. The epilogue is now in three parts which I feel is too long for an epilogue but am not sure how to shorten it or transition it. Last night I also did heavy editing on the H and G dialogue in chapter eight and chapter three. I find there are weaker parts in chapters four through six which will be filled in by later edits and beta work. This piece still has not gone through beta, and I'm sure it's riddled with grammatical mistakes (although I am getting so much better with "than" and "then.)
The writing I did on chapter seven, was copied from some handwritten stuff I did while watching my son watch cartoons, but of course I changed it to actual text and changed alot. No longer do I have as much cohesion in my thoughts with a pen and paper, although it is a good exercise.

So that was my end of November edit. I have probably been working on this story for six months now, and had hoped to have it up by December since the last scene is a Christmas scene. Alas. This month will not be a good writing month for me. Too busy. Maybe by Valentines.
