An update from the novel-writing front
16 years ago
General
I have begun the editing process on Nightwind but it will still be some time before the entire thing is finished and at a more acceptable standard. I have a sizable chunk still missing from the middle but, thanks to
Nightwind005 I have a better idea of what to fill it with. The ending is half written but will need to be changed according to what is actually written in the middle, I think.
Considering I wrote my novel almost exclusively on a computer, the editing process involves more sellotape than one might think. When I think about how much this novel frustrated me as well as excited me, I realize how printing it out so I can scribble on it and cut it up and stick it back together can be incredibly therapeutic. So I printed out the first ten pages, only to realize that there was a chunk missing from the first chapter. O.O And this from the document I submitted for the final wordcount! I've since rectified that little problem but have yet to begin the editing process on that chapter.
One final note before I sign off - the currently posted chapters will be moved to scraps once I am ready to begin posting the new version. I'm sorry I had to stop posting the later chapters as I wrote them and I may yet post them up but directly into the scraps folder if anyone is interested in seeing them. A warning though - there are plotholes there big enough to swallow planets!
