So this week I have made the time to prepare a new undertaking. I got further in revising my novel Phoenix and the Vulture than the progress bar currently indicates (will fix that soon), and then got blindsided by other commitments.
Lesson learned? Don't make other commitments!
The new goal is to go back to my first Nanonovel, Gift of the Ancients and give it a final revision.
This is a manuscript I've already spent at least a year working on since it was written. I've made may improvements, but there were still some things I knew needed fixing, just couldn't properly define.
Going through How To Revise Your Novel will give me the tools, as it says, to "Get the novel I want from the novel I have." I meant to cut my teeth on this course with Phoenix and the Vulture, but only made it so far. There is a time factor for getting Gift done, which helps me to focus, so I'm really looking forward to this. Deadlines are my friend.
Watch for progress reports, which will include actually submitting the manuscript to an editor. It's time for this Work In Progress to get to work!
