No, not to hearing like a normal person. Although I do have episodes of my hearing going in and out. And I hear lots of noises going on within my ears. Or is that inside my head?
I rearranged FP all afternoon and I'm remembering why I love this story. I cut out 22 pages, but I think I can have my rough draft done as early as tomorrow and then I can start my revisions! I really want it to be finished, but I don't want to rush it.
That activity of physically cutting up the story and moving the parts around really helped. I was amazed. A few times I had one scene in my hand and tried it in several different spots. I just might try that with plotting the next book!

So, can you hear the ocean? *g*
That sounds like a great idea - I have an old MS that I might get out and try that with. Have a great weekend.
I don't know if it's the ocean, Eve, but I'm gettin' kind of tired of hearing it instead of everything else in my world! And today the ears are itching like crazy!
I have found that sometimes doing something different such as writing a difficult scene out by hand or physically moving them around in front of you can really make a difference.
Hope you feel better soon!

I took a class with Lisa Gardner and she said she does this. She makes a notecard for every scene, then lays them out on the floor and organizes them where she thinks they'd fit best. It's a great tool!
(And see? You think like a bestseller!)
Oh, Teri, I love how much I was able to accomplish with physically rearranging stuff!
Elisabeth, I like that idea of thinking like a best-seller! Especially Lisa Gardner since I LOVE her books!
