While I’m just about to wrap up the first act of the third draft of my first novel, the rest of the novel has collapsed. I’m going to have to totally restructure — and in large part, rewrite — the rest of the fucking thing because of all of the changes I’ve made to the first act.
Write, write, write
Oh boy.
So, I have to do a lot of aggressive daydreaming to figure out how to pretty much re-imagine the entire rest of the novel. I still have the general plot well established in my mind, but the specifics are going to be totally different.
And thinking that through is going to take some time. Time I have very little of if I still plan to wrap a presentable Third Draft by no later than the end of April.
So, I have a long ways to go and a short time to get there.
