It appears I needed that long to get the proper distance from it. Does that apply to all writers? Absolutely not. But what does apply to all writers is that it is a tough, long-haul process when it comes to novels. No way to get around that.

Draft Five (ish) still feels like a first draft, where I'm getting to know my character. She's so different from the characters in BV that it makes her hard to write. I think we're getting there, though.<br /><br />Maybe. <br /><br />I actually outlined this one recently using the Snowflake Outline technique and I think it's helping.<br /><br />We'll see...Chelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279604060499054571noreply@blogger.com
