Becuase that is exactly what's been going on over the past two to three months. I completely hated writing Intolerance for some time because I got fed up with all those rules about sentencing and what not. So, being me, I promptly threw in dozens and dozens of fragmented sentences, changed the entire dynamic of my prose to first person, and probably made a few typos along the way. That way, I can actually write some what. I'm about 20% through the book AGAIN, and I'm making sure I got things all worked out for my story and making sure I don't screw up this next draft like I did for the last... what was it? Third, forth time I had to write a rather large amount of the novel? Anyway, that's what's up. I'm worried that my previous said release date, the one between now and November 4th, may not actually happen. If I'm lucky, then yeah, I could, but for now, I'm expecting it say during December, maybe early 2013. I don't know. What I do know is that I need a writing buddy. This whole journey of writing a full-length action novel is proving a ton more difficult that I thought it would be. Maybe my complete disarray of the brains are making life harder for me. Ooooh well. Like what my *best friend says, "C'est la vie."
That's life.
With that being said, I am going to go brush my teeth and head to work. (Sadly, that isn't writing. I wonder how much I actually will write today...)
Aaaaaaand. I'm outta here.

What can I say, writing a novel is hard work, getting it to work is even harder and when you think you are done, comes the hardest part, edtiting, proof-reading and finding out you have major plot holes and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteDon't let it discourage you, keep going and get people you trust to proof-read for you, to beta-read the whole. And when you think you are ready for the final stage, get a professional editor to go over your work. Let the line-editing be done by some-one who knows their stuff, because if it's out there and the stupid mistakes are still in there, they will haunt you for the rest of your days.
Just to keep you positive, you will get it right! I'm sure.
