another draft down
Finished!
At 63ish K words. And I hate it now.
It is, as Anne Lamott would say, a “shitty first draft” – which is OK. The problem is that at this point it’s also a shitty book.
There are bits I like but I just don’t know…I was hoping the rest of the series would reveal itself to me like it did with the last one – which would in turn help me in finding the proper ending. But it didn’t, so I didn’t. Find it that is. I ended it, but just because. Hopefully/maybe a more truthful ending will come to me later.
I like the characters and love the idea, but it needs more meat.
Not sure where to now, going to try and let it sit for a bit, then see if it’s salvageable. Start another edit pass on Shredded Souls I guess, maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.
I have an idea for some fiction, but it’s quite morbid and will be painful to write. Plus I’m not good enough for it yet.
Still awesome to be done, I bet. Like turning in a huge paper in college even though you’re pretty sure it’s crap but at this point, just turning it in and being done makes you go on a pub crawl of self-congratulation.
Mmm alcohol.
Wonderful just to be done! Great accomplishment!
Someone else found my brainspace!! Ahh.
Hi Mary ;)
Yeah, done is relative. Done for now. Hopefully not done forever.
Yes, and now that I’ve found your brainspace, the easier to continue on with my evil scheme of mind control.
At the very least you now have 5ish years of my conversations with myself to read. Which mind actually result in the loss of your own mind, netting the win for me!
