The outside world is slowly beginning to rattle my cage to the point that I’m too distracted to do anything but stare out into space. But I’m not quite there yet — I still can concentrate enough to work on my novel.
As such, I’m now in the second act of the latest iteration of the novel. What I think I’m going to do is try to slowly go through the rest of the novel, but not worry too much about totally rewriting everything.
Then, once the new version of the novel is really stabilized, I will make one last pass through of the entire thing before I query. I have to think of some way whereby I don’t just continue to drift towards my goal.
I’ve set a pretty tight deadline — September 1st. That’s when I hope to begin to actively query this novel.
Now, obviously, a lot — A LOT — could go wrong between now and then that would either slow me down or dramatically change the context of it all. But you have to believe, you know.
You just have to believe.
