Writing update
Nov. 29th, 2010 03:56 pmIn brief, these are my plans for December:
* Read back over the Nanowrimo novel that I won with back in 2008. I've been thinking about it on and off since then, shown it to a dear friend who thought it had potential, talked about it with other dear friends who gave some good advice on it, and I think I've finally figured out some of issues that were there. So now I do the read over properly. Take notes, not rewrite yet, but take thorough notes about the characters, the world, and the plot. Think up scenes that need including or scenes to be removed. Properly more that need to go in, as it really is just 50,000 words, and it does need to be longer. Will keep updating on that.
* I'm going to take it a bit easier with the dragon novel. Just simply do 100 words a day. Very easy to catch up on if for some reason I don't write, or alternatively if I write for longer than that's a success.
* Aim is also to work on and send off a story to Circlet Press for their online micro-fiction. 1000 words max, so it will be a nice challenge.
* Celebrate when I get my copy of Filament later this week! Yep, my story will be in there. The cover looks wonderful, and the articles inside intriguing. A post of itself when I have it in my hot little hands. ;)
