Latest Update

Despite the title of my last post, I did *not* get back on track. In fact, I went to Burning Man and got wayyyyy off track in a very glorious fashion. I have done no writing for the past month and a half besides some minor editing here or there, which was not in my game plan but happened anyway.

But Fall is in the air and the writing bug is hitting me again.

My goal for September and October is to do the second rewrite of The Novel aka Drunk. This means a complete reworking of the storyline. Tomorrow I get together with Mz B for some hangouts and adventure-sharing. I doubt any writing will get done but hopefully we can set a day/time for our next writing date. I should have Sundays off soon, which means three(ish) days off which equals more time to write and get together. This will be a very good thing.

The reedit of Drunk will be focused on rewriting the storyline so that it's an actual story and not just a background vehicle that is carrying the characters. I will also be strengthening a few of my male characters. A brainstorming session followed by a string of different graphed out plot lines is in order. I see lots of coffee shops in my future.

I'm hoping to get this done by end-ish of October so that I can participate in NaNoWriMo again. I love getting out new storylines in October and November and then using the rest of the year to finish them and fill them in. This has worked well for me the past three years and will hopefully continue through 2010.
