30 Sarah-steps to editing

So, I've been doing a bunch of editing lately. It's had it's own, unique ups and downs, but I've settled into a relatively stable schedule . . . which I thought I'd share. Yay! So here we go, how I go about editing a chapter of my manuscript:

1. Sit down at desk to start paper edits. This is a very serious process.
2. Check email, Twitter, and RSS aggregator.
3. Turn on appropriate music. Loudly.
4. Doodle flowers in red pen on scrap paper.
5. Make notes on manuscript in same red pen.
6. Write out extended bits of dialogue on a post-it note.
7. Highlight passive verbs because they suck.
8. Chew on red pen while reading.
9. Laugh hysterically and exclaim, "Now you're a horrible sentence!"
10. Repeat steps 3-9 until paper edits are completed.
11. Cheer.
12. Move computer to bed because it's comfy.
13. Look at email, Twitter, and RSS aggregator.
14. Work through chapter and start implementing paper edit notes.
15. Re-write some sentences.
16. Delete giant chunks of unnecessary wordage.
17. Glare at cranky paragraphs.
18. Eat some Lifesavers.
19. Re-work cranky paragraphs. Pages worth of cranky paragraphs.
20. Exclaim to manuscript, "I hate you!"
21. Look at Twitter.
22. Look at manuscript for two minutes.
23. Look at Twitter again. No one has said anything.
24. Look at sleeping cat and exclaim, "You're so adorable!"
25. Manhandle cat for several minutes.
26. Sigh.
27. Option 1: Have a meltdown and call critique partner for help.
28. Option 2: Break for food or something mindless.
29. Option 3: Suck it up and repeat steps 14-20 until chapter is done.
30. Cheer.

And that's it! A lot of procrastination, yes, I know. But I still get stuff done in the end, which is totally all that matters. But now I'm curious about the rest of you. What is your editing process? Do you lock yourself away in a study, or are you at the kitchen table with everyone else in the family? Do you need silence? Can you edit and watch TV at the same time?
