Things are going well with this latest attempt at a first draft — knock on wood. But I’m facing a cold hard fact — if I’m going to flesh out these characters, I’m going to have to do some fucking reading.
So, I hope to gradually work into my very lax schedule a lot more time for reading over the course of the next few months. I hope that by the time I’m working on the second draft that I will have read enough that I can flesh out the characters a lot more.
That’s the thing about so much of this first novel, it’s been such a struggle to get to this point that it’s really beginning to dawn on me that I need to flesh out the characters so someone actually wants to hang out with them the number of hours necessary to finish reading the damn thing.
