matt_doyleWell. It's been an interesting day, writing-wise. Things are working out the way I intended... more or less. Two characters have had major revisions to them -- one in a trivial sort of way that utterly shifts my world-building; another in a way that makes all my earlier notes on her personality obsolete and worse than useless (but made her a much stronger and more believable character. I had some dumb notes.
I don't know if I'll get my total up to 3000 tonight, but I should be able to manage another 550 or so. My current goal is to send a finished first draft off to my betas ( I have enough but would like more) sometime in the middle of Friday night; and hopefully to hear back before midnight Saturday(is that cool, guys?). Sunday I'll revise and send it out again, and do as much further editing as I can on Monday, whenever I get second-round feedback, right up until an hour or so before my deadline. Then I'll submit it.
I kind of want to make a post or two actually talking directly about my plot and characters, but I don't want to spoil anyone (and especially not either my betas or my patron/challenger). In public posts, I think I will continue to be coy and circumspect, but if anyone would like to be let on a filter where I discuss directly, I can do that (and then unfilter the posts once this whole challenge is done).
Thoughts? My fiends-list has honestly been a little quieter than I expected about this whole thing (though I have very much appreciated the feedback i have gotten).
