I'm in the throes of my second draft too. Definitely getting rid of superfluous characters too and chapters - I have written 120k words...yes. And, a lot it must go! ;-) Or, be saved for use later in another MS.<br /><br />Good luck with your rewrites!Taleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317577935549931974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-10512940478700116892011-04-24T16:32:37.843-06:002011-04-24T16:32:37.843-06:00Thank you for sharing DebraThank you for sharing DebraAnyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02404938865648826222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-26344942864271667132011-04-24T12:53:47.608-06:002011-04-24T12:53:47.608-06:00This is why I belong to an excellent critique grou...This is why I belong to an excellent critique group and did block editing on my novel right from beginning to end. So by the time I got it finished I now only have to do the final edits which are mostly the cutting, very few 'rewrites' at all. Novels are not created by osmosis like some non-writers might think. It's a dedicated, long procedure to get one ready to submit. And especially when you write historical fiction like I do which requires so much research.Wynn Kozakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881720648905766350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35406795.post-65279871808332621422011-04-24T12:19:24.210-06:002011-04-24T12:19:24.210-06:00As it is everyone thinks they can write a book, ge...As it is everyone thinks they can write a book, get it published and become a millionaire overnight.
