Another Draft Done!
I finished writing Dark Fire book 2 last week! This week I worked on reading through book 1 again and making basic notes of what needs to be changed. It needs a lot of work!! I've also discovered how short it really is! 30,000 words is not very long. I definitely want to lengthen it. Maybe take it up to 35,000 words or so. I think that sometimes we writers pressure ourselves too much. Well, I know for myself that sometimes I stress about making my first draft good. I want the scenes to be right and I want it to be well written. But that's why I edit. The first draft is just to get the main story idea out. It is one of the hardest parts of writing for me. Just getting my jumbled thoughts out in concise words. So, I'm taking a break next week because I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. Then, I will work on editing! I hope to get draft 3 of Dark Fire book 1 done in May! ~CH~
