GOALS: Jan 22 – 26 Rewrites Rule???

Hopefully, I will quit painting myself into a corner with my novel, and actually start making headway again. I'm beginning to feel like a broken record with this, but hopefully, this is where I get to make it to the end of my first draft.

1) Rewrite first half of novel to get rid of "plot clot". Key areas of concern are the prologue and the midway point, where hidden bits start coming together and new problems emerge. Sadly, where I went wrong in the first place was including extemporaneous world-building in the prologue that has very little to do with what's actually going on in the story, and my midway point became a Gordian knot that wouldn't unravel without huge inconsistencies. Plot-holes and minor infractions are one thing, but we're talking story-breaking nonsense that couldn't be resolved. – In Progress

2) Finish editing and formatting my #1 blog anthology project so it will be ready for submitting to Kindle Press. – Not started.

3) Get at least two more blog posts edited for my #2 blog anthology project. – DONE!

4) Continue blogging – DONE!
