I love Cheetos. Love. Mostly I'm into the crunchy ones, but these are pretty good. I can fit them in my mouth, but it takes some effort to crunch down. And, I kind of sprained my tongue trying to dig out Cheeto bits from my back teeth. But that doesn't mean I probably won't finish the bag tonight. Hey, there are only like 40 Cheetos in there! They're giant!
Anyway, writing. I am still deleting, and I cut another 5400 words. I've read through the first half (NaNoWriMo 2005), some stuff I wrote about a year after that, and now I'm reading what I wrote last November. I noticed an improvement in my writing between both halves, and that made me feel good. I think the second half will be far less rambling, and I don't remember what I wrote, so I'm excited to unearth some good prose in there. I have to find something, right?
But, so as not to take forever with this deleting project, I think I should give myself a goal. Because next comes the hard part of figuring out what story I really have, and you know I've been procrastinating on that. Thus, my goal is to finish reading and deleting by the end of August, so in September I will begin, essentially, writing the 2nd draft. Whew. I'm already scared.

I must try those! Yum!
Ah, those giant Cheetos are insane! I only really like the super thin Cheetos, but my husband doesn't and so we never buy them or else I would have to consume the whole bag by myself, which I would probably have done anyway, but I would at least be able to pretend my hubby ate some;)
Love your goal to start writing the second draft by September - good luck!
I am soooo getting those next time I go to the store. Oh, yum. I can already see Darcy chowing down on one!
Good job with deleting. It's painful, but a god feeling, huh?
Yay on the goal! And lol on the marshmellow-sized Cheetos!
Must. Buy. Giant. Cheetos.
Don't you just love editing? And editing with a giant bag of cheetos is even better. Although, editing with a giant bag of giant cheetos tops it all.
YUMMY! And you know what, the editing process can be a pain...so hang in there!
That is a fantastic goal, Annie! :D I'll be cheerleading for you! Wooooot!
Cheetos? For real? I don't get cheetos.
Oh well.
Keep going on the writing. Even one day is good! And you can totally be done deleting by the end of the month. Go girl!
