nonesensedFor over two years now I've been doing my best to finish a 'book'-project I've titled A Werewolf in October, which I've been posting over on my writing blog. My goal for this summer is to finally actually fully finish the darn thing and I MIGHT JUST MAKE IT!!!
Having said that I'll now go knock on all the wood. But I did just post the final draft of chapter 11 (out of 13 chapters + an epilogue) and I've got all the other final chapters up to draft 6-7~! I'm also reading the final drafts aloud to my dear sister, to sniff out the final typos and illogical sentences. We're done with chapters 1-8 already. So there is hope!
Things I've learned from this project: Never post book projects this long piece-by-piece again, it makes editing a mess XD This long a story needs to be able to be rewritten from scratch from first to last page and I've felt a little "locked in" by having shared early drafts of chapter 1 online. Live and learn!
Also, I've found a drafting method that I need to try with my next projects! Might not be fully for me, but I think it could be a good top-down way to work out my outlines :)
I'm using Camp NaNoWriMo to try to finish this story and to get some clear outlines for my (numerous) next ones. Wish me luck!
