Motivate yourself to conquer your goals this week! Post on Monday; update us on Friday! |
1. Finish the last three plot points of the prologue. It is okay if the dialogue for the foreshadowing conversation is bland for now. Just get it down. Realistic conversation will come with revision. 2. Apply suggestions for chapter one. While it theoretically is more important to finish the book than revise at this stage, I feel bad when reviewers repeat a suggestion that has already been given. I love the feedback, but don't want to waste anyone's time. I need to add description/clarity of the 'flow of time' scene, when the sword is at her throat, when the headmaster uncorks the vial. I need to rethink/simplify the first line, use 'was' less in the opening paragraph, and (most importantly) strengthen the dialogue between the hunter and the headmaster. 3. Describe the theater in chapter six. After a reviewer pointed out that I skipped this step, I made a description tree. Now I just need to whittle it down and insert it into the chapter. Why is that taking so long? BONUS 4. Finish Chapter 9 5. Finish Chapter 10 6. Draft Chapter 12 7. Draft Chapter 14 8. Review plot points for Part 3 |
