Wow, its been a long time since my last post. Crazy long. What the heck have I been doing in that time?
Mostly just revising this:
Don't get too excited. It isn't a published book. That's just my revision copy. Since my last post I finished my half draft and then did one complete revision to complete the first draft.
Calling it a .5 and a 1.0 are the ways I trick myself into not editing as I write the first draft. A little odd, but it works for me.
I'm in the midst of revising a couple of scenes in it that just weren't working for me. I've also figured out that one of my main characters turned out not to be so main after all. I'm turning this blog into a bit of a revision diary to show what works for me in the process of revision.
This week I'm focusing on filling holes. When I couldn't remember I name, place or needed to do further research, I inserted XYZ. Why XYZ? That way I can use the find function to easily locate all those spots.
