I just finished reading over a first draft I completed during jonowrimo . Let’s just say I was underwhelmed for the first twenty pages or so. But then it kicked into gear and by the time I was done, there was lots to like. It’s most definitely a shitty first draft but there’s room to move. I’m excited about digging in and making the next draft less crappy. (Hey, it’s all about setting attainable goals, right?)
So my plan is to work on this MG project while continuing to draft the somewhat dark YA. The voices are completely different so I’m hoping I can continue to make progress on both.
Let’s see, that makes my goals:
MG = less sucky
YA = get ‘er done.
I can do this.

Is this the funny boy-centric MG from a little while back?

Thanks for the funny rhino on the treadmill pic. HA. Some days revisions feel a bit that way.
This is a whole new project. The other one is out in the world as agent-bait. Eek.

Go, Tracy, go–you can do it! I think it’s fabulous that you were able to power through jonowrimo and come up with a good lump of story to mold. 🙂

I’m pretty happy about that lump, too. You’re never quite sure what you’ll end up with so I’m grateful to have something to work with.
Thanks for the good wishes, Lorraine. Hope you have a lump of your own you’re working on.
