The good part is I finished rewriting Book 1 and am much happier with how things work.
I think I might need a few days off as I'm feeling a little burned out because, obsessive as I am, I did the whole thing in 10 days. That's 250k words. Ah.
The less good part is Book 2 is going to need a lot of work, bringing in the antagonist, changing minor characters, and removing a main character. It's also 450k words. Oh.
As for Book 3 where it ends, all I have at the moment are scenes or fragments of chapters where I was basically telling myself what is going to happen. I know how the story ends for my protagonists, but want to add a little more of a threat to them so it is more than a simple walkthrough to the end credits. No idea how many words that might take. Hmm.
So, yes I'm writing again, but Lord do I have a lot more writing to do before I want to start posting. At the very least I want a full draft for Book 3, maybe a second draft (I aim for 3, with the last being a proofreading).
Or.
Instead of driving myself insane editing such a colossus, I skim through to arrange a calandar of what happens with whom and when -- and start over, fresh page, and see how that looks. Hmm. It may be time to crack out the old notes and see how doable that still is.
Ho Hum,
