2020 has been something else. Despite all its challenges and upsetting news, this year turned out to be perfectly suited for getting some serious writing done. Overall, I made a lot of progress on the book, and for the first time since I started this project, I feel like a novelist.
November has been a bit of strange month for me. Between the US presidential election and wrestling with burn out it I’ve felt a little off my game. However, I still managed to get some great work done two import sections, the “Ordeal” and “Bad Guys Close In.”
The writing over the past month has been going incredibly well. I’m roughly halfway through rewriting the 12 chapters that make up Act 2B and should be able to finish the rest in the next couple of weeks.
Over the past month I’ve continued to work through the 12 chapters that make up Act 2A. After rewriting Chapter 22, and adding a few more scenes, I was able to finish this section and send it off to some early readers.
Over the past month I both had a breakthrough with the writing and hit a creative wall. I also had to make some difficult decisions on what to cut from the book.
