So. After the first round of edits (which I focused mainly on the grammar and spelling) I am finished with draft number 2 and onto draft number 3. I was originally going to call this current version draft 2, but seeing as I did change some things around and added in an extra chapter...as well as reworking the ending, it will qualify as draft three.
Tomorrow I'm going to pick up Underground (FINALLY) and continue the greatness that is the Greywalker series. I really do enjoy Kat Richardson's writing a whole helluva lot. And her blog is pretty great too! If you haven't checked her out yet, do so. I mean it. It's a refreshing series and I am so happy to be out of the "maybe this anita book will be better" cycle. I have moved on, cast off my "ex" and sowed the greener pastures of my mind.
I took out a scene I thought would be integral in the novel but after re-reading it I figured I could redo it a little without the ....umm...extreme actions. I'm not comfortable with having it and I don't think it furthers the character or story. I can just as easily show the connection bewteen the characters with dialogue and less "intimate" matters. I'll keep it saved in case I change my mind for the final draft. but...I doubt I will. So.
Hopefully when I finish this draft I'll send out my query (giving me another week to put on final touches) and we'll see what happens. Yeah, the benefits of not currently working include having ample time to edit this novel.
until later kiddies!
