As of minutes ago I have finished lesson two of Holly Lisle's how to revise your novel course. The second go through the draft was interesting.
After I went through it in lesson one I wanted to tear the whole thing apart and start again (looking for problems does that). This time I ended feeling more positive. There are still loads of things I want to change, but I feel this is doable.
So today I am going to read through lesson three and start that. Only twenty more lessons to complete in this course. Though I anticipate my pace will slow a little when I start my new full time job in a couple of weeks.
As for the how to write a series course I am taking alongside my revision course, last night I finished the first lesson. I'm looking forward to starting lesson two tonight. These seem to have become my treat lessons to settle down with at the end of the day. I find myself glancing up at the clock suprised to find I have spent hours on it.
So here is my progress so far: (all these titles are tentative)
Novels:
Seeker of Truth: revising session 2/22 (Due to finish 4th October 2013)
False prophet series: Planning session 1/4 (Due to finish overall planning 6th June 2013)
Shorts:
Finished:
What You Wish For (3.4k)
Editing:
Two shorts, one flash
Writing:
Epidemic (13/?k)
