Round of Words in Eighty Days: My Goal (Singular)

Hello there! So happy to be back for my fourth round of ROW80, the writing challenge that knows you have a life.

The past two rounds I've shot way too high. Although I'm making a ton of progress, my lofty goals are making me feel more and more behind. So it's time for a reality check.

I now have two (recent) books with first drafts written. Before I do much more writing, I need to edit, edit, edit. :)

My goal for this round:
Edit and revise Queen Witch, my urban fantasy novel. The book needs a lot of work, including writing at least a handful of new scenes, and possibly cutting an entire section...I have some ideas, but won't know exactly what it needs until I dig into it. I wrote it last fall, and then set it aside while I wrote another paranormal romance.

I'm zeroing in on this one goal to ensure I get it done in a timely fashion -- hopefully during round 2. I realize this may make my updates boring and repetitive...but all of you writers out there know that's part of the gig, so no surprises there. :)

I can't wait to see what everyone else is shooting for this spring. The one thing I do know: You ROWers are sure to keep inspiring me!
