The Editing Process: Breakthrough

I finally had a breakthrough with my writing. I managed to finally get passed the second lesson and I'm onto the 3rd. This one should take me too long but when I finally have the time to finish them up I will.

So far, I have a few scenes that will probably need to be deleted, reworked, or merged with another scene. There are currently 72-ish scenes for this novel, making is a monster but I'm going to work on fixing it.

This will be my last editing update post for awhile since NaNoWriMo starts. I'll be doing writing update posts until I finish. If I manage to finish all of my projects, then I'll continue to edit and hopefully finish by the end of December.

Progress Update: Plot Bunnies

I figured out my editing hour total. I currently stand at 26.75 hours and I still need to add more to it. I'm half way to where I want to be by the end of the month but I need to really buckle down on this editing. Once I get into the fun part of it, I think it'll just breeze on by but I need to push myself to get there.

A lot of the rewriting is setting me back. I have to make a new outline and a new story board. I just need to remember to stay on track. So, I'll continue doing that.

Lately, I've been really into writing everything out by hand. I have those moments and that's usually when paper ends up everywhere. Now my room is a mess. That's probably why I can't be creative in my room. It's messy. I should really work on that.

On another note, thanks to work, I got hit with a plot bunny and I'm considering using the idea for the Handwrite a Complete Novel challenge on the WriYe forums. They are probably going to end up being Novellas. 4 of them. I already started outlining them because it wasn't leaving my head. I'm not sure how I'm going to write it completely. I always get stuck with the 1st person VS 3rd Person POV. I'll have to do some samples later.
