Further updates from the EdMo front
Making a wee bit of progress with NaNoEdMo. Have finished reading my first draft (or zero draft, as someone called it... I rather like that description), filled out my storyboard cards and divvied up the manuscript into corresponding sections, rearranged the pages to fit the new order (and I'm not talking about white supremacists or new wave bands here... just the literal "order that is different from the old"), and cut out so much embarrassingly bad writing from my novel that it is now a novella.
So now I'm starting to retype the manuscript into the computer (as suggested by someone on the EdMo forum) so that I'm forced to reread each sentence as I type and can rework it if needed (hmm, that wording seems to erroneously imply that there are actually some sentences that don't need it). While I'm doing this, I plan to make notes about the additional scenes that I still need to write to fill in the plethora of gaps. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? 'Cept for the fact that I'm only on page 2!
EdMo Hours: 3 down ~ 47 to go
