Well, actually, only seventeen-and-a-half weeks, but that wouldn't sound nearly as catchy. In any case, today is exactly four months after starting the right-brain novel on April 24, and I just emailed the completed first draft to my writing coach. The story will need plenty more
effort, but at least now:
- the action is continuous;
- any superfluous characters have been cut;
- and any glaring redundancies or contradictions in plot or narrative
seem to be gone.
I will probably start making some changes as soon as I come up for air, which could be tomorrow or sometime next week. In any case, I have a lot of other responsibilities over the next week, so I am going to focus on those for a bit.
Go me.
