I ended up taking yesterday off. I still feel like the scenes I am writing are too long, but I wanted Allie to have some nice moments before her life turns into a waking nightmare.
Hmmmm... if I can keep up my 2k word a day schedule for the next fifteen days I'll make my goal of having this rewrite done by the end of the month. I'll probably need a week or two to go over it and edit it a bit more. So perhaps I'll be sending it back to agent in early November. I would be very happy if I could get that much work done. Then I can start making Christmas gifts and sleep a lot.
I can already feel the pull of future revisions. So much is falling into place in this draft, but so much still needs work--I think with every draft the changes become finer and finer. The refining process of narrative text is rather elaborate.
I've had a very happy idea for writing exercises the next time I teach a workshop. I need to start looking into that at several local colleges and schools that offer creative writing courses. If anyone wants to try this exercise and let me know how it goes that would be cool.
