Once Upon Draft Five

So I'm gearing up for Draft #5 now, and I'm actually SUPER EXCITED about it! Mostly because I'm fairly certain the grueling start-from-scratch stuff is OVER, and I just can't wait to make this book what it was meant to be in the first place!

Stuff I'm working on in this draft:


  1. Stream-lining the novel. I want to cut AT LEAST 10,000 words
  2. Make character motivations clear.
  3. Work on pacing.
  4. MAKE THE BEGINNING AWESOME
  5. Condense/simplify my myths
  6. Delete one of the character's POVs.
  7. MAKE THE WHOLE NOVEL AS AWESOME AS I CAN.
So. We'll see how long this takes.

And GO!
