I really need to figure out how to stop myself from rushing to the end of a verison of this novel when I get close to wrapping things up. But, here I am, having done it AGAIN.
But I do have a “finished” transitional draft to work with. I may pause actual writing for this weekend so I can psych myself up for yet another go at trying to finish a public beta draft — something I expect people to enjoy enough to read all the way to the end.
I’ve gotten a lot — A LOT — closer to that, but I’m still not there yet. I’m hoping that if I’m really patient that THIS draft will be the draft I use to write the Public Beta at last.
One issue is I just can’t keep wasting so much paper forever. This thing printed out looks like a proper novel in size and I’d prefer to keep the number of times I print the whole thing out to a minimum.
I really need to readjust my thinking about printing out copy at the drop of a hat now that I have a draft that is obviously over 100,000 words. I have to just methodically go through this draft and hopefully I won’t have to do anything but rewrite or edit scenes I’ve already written.
Anyway.
