Rewriting of Novel
| I mentioned before that I'd been writing a novel called Melanie Black and the Ancient Hope Dragon. It seems a shame to give up on it after so many years. I have, after all, been working on it since I was thirteen, albeit in fits and starts. But to be honest, it needs a lot of editing. I need to completely rework and rewrite some of the chapters and even some of the characters. Here's what I propose to do. I will work through it all again chapter by chapter and post them here as I work through them. It isn't finished, so once I edit the first eleven chapters, which are mostly complete, I'll be working from scratch on the subsequent chapters until the end. As a rough idea of the scale of the piece, I have written 58 pages and I predict that I'll need another 58 on top of that. And for any sceptics, that's not in size 18 font! It's in size 10. Time won't be a problem through the holidays, but I'm guessing motivation will be! So kick me up the arse if I start to slack. |
