I'm working on my own novel and I wonder about Henry's drafts.
He HAND COPIED every word. And he eventually got to Walden.
I'm wondering at times if I should do a Page 1 rewrite, there have GOT to be benefits of the method. Every word counts!!
I hope you are as fascinated by the novel writing process as I am.
I'm taking 2 classes (1 on Query Letters to Lit Agents and one on World Building in Fiction). Getting an editor lined up, workshopping one of the chapters. Very exciting.
My goal this month is a readable draft. I have the structure, and 250 pages of scenes, notes, and things to write. I want to send out the first 50 pages to my editor asap.
I've published several short stories and plays, but getting together a giant chunk of something (with a full time job plus travel) is tremendously difficult. But rewarding!
