Well, you heard it here first!! Draft one of my book is done and I'm already knee deep in draft two! I'm so excited! :D I'm really happy that I'm already on draft two and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
This one I'm not speed writing so much. And also it's going to have a much more refined plot! :D Johanna's (the main) relationship to another character was the main reason the change happened. I'm not a romance writer--and so when I got to the romantic part of my book I realized Johanna and Alan had NO basis for a romance!
DUN DUN DUN music was playing in my head and I took a few days off to try and figure it all out. Fortunately, on day two or three, I had my epiphany. I changed the plot structure a good little bit, and made Johanna and Alan a bit closer from the on set. That helped a LOT! Alan has a much MUCH more refined role in the story other than Johanna's love interest. Now he's got a bit more of his own part in the story. Johanna is still the lead, but Alan has a bigger part now!
But yea, I just wanted to let you know that draft one is done and draft two of book one has been started! :D
I've already wrote from chapter one to chapter four (twenty four pages) in ONE DAY!! And that's NOT speeding writing! :D Either way, I'm so happy!
But I've got to run now (get back to my writing!) So I guess I'll post at you later! :D
Your ever busy blogger,
Rebecca

Yay about the first draft done! I always get so excited when I finish a first draft! It feels so good, like you've really accomplished something big! :) Keep working on it!

Wow I have not ever gotten a first draft of a book done...unless you count the short story I just finished and decided to scrap because it was garbage. But it was still a BIG milestone.
Would you be interested in sharing your book? :)
I'm glad to hear that :) I'm still on my first draft- chapter five :P Like Alyianna said, would you be interested? I'd love to read it! :)
Wow you are doing great, Congrats Rebecca! :D Also there is an award on my blog for you. :)

Hey Jamie!
Thanks! Me too! I am always SO thrilled when I get to a milestone in book! I'm already knee deep in draft two and I am loving every minute of it! :D
Hi Alyianna!
Thanks so much! I've only gotten a few first drafts through myself. I alwasys decide that about halfway through I didn't like the story. Part of being a writer I guess!
I don't know if I'll share the book just yet. The first draft is pretty rough. But maybe when it's a little bit smoother!
Hi Solace Utara!
Thanks! My rough draft is--well sorta rough right now. But maybe some time later when it's a little smoother I'll post a snipit of it! I plan to self publish so maybe sometime next spring or this winter the book will be out! :D
