Methodical

Started editing my first story today - a little nerve-wracking but surprisingly manageable.

I'm starting with structure edits. I've decided to drop a character from the first story and rearrange the overall sequence of events, so I've plotted a step-by-step guide for myself to follow. I'm also making notes on plot and characters so that I have something to reference when I start my rewrite. The time for free-writing is over, this stage is more methodical.

Better get back to it...

Not over yet

Feeling tired but happy after a great weekend. I'll be working on the plot and characters for my seventh story tomorrow, I'm determined to get it done in a day so I can start writing on Wednesday. I should be starting a legal secretarial course in July - I want to work part time or contract from now on and legal secretaries seem to be paid the best - so I'd like to finish the first draft of my novel by then.

But until then I'm just relaxing, watching tv and catching up with emails on this bank holiday Monday.
