We didn't get any hurricane weather, which was some what disappointing. Although I suppose the devastation wouldn't have been worth some rain.
I've been working on my book again (Lines of Eternity) off and on for the last week. Today I finally reached the portion where I have a whole batch of new scenes to write. I've been doing all the editing by hand (and then typing them into the awesomeness that is Scrivener for Windows) but opted to start these new scenes in typed form.
This is why I am starting to really like Scrivener (still in Beta). It allows me the freedom to make a new folder and index cards for the scenes that I need to write. I should really do all my edits this way but it's more fun to see the notebook filling up with new revisions.
I don't know how the second draft will be. There have been quite a few plot shifts and things happening in different ways than they originally did but it's been a lot of fun for me. I am hoping that the gaping plot holes I left in the first draft will be fixed. So far a lot of things that are being added were happening only in my head during the first draft.
It seems like so long ago that this story was first born in it's infant creation, back in 2002. I remember writing just as feverishly as I have been with my edits to get the story down on paper. It was only thirty three hand written pages back then, and I have that many edits this time around. In fact I might be over editing because I haven't left a single scene untouched since the first five pages.
If I ever get this book into a format that people seem to be reading it I will be amazed.
There is one problem coming up! NaNoWriMo!!! It's almost September which means I need to buckle down and start outlining which of the many stories that will become this years insanity stream of consciousness. I am leaning towards a story about a woman named Hitori. I don't know if it will end up being the one that gets written though.
I have so many little ideas, each of them with wonderful merit, some started some not that need attention and love. NaNoWriMo is usually my chance to give them that love. Right now it is between Hitori, Delta Sierra, Fate and Fayth; and trying to write the first book to last years OtherWorlds series finale.
I guess we'll see!
