And a possible idea brewing for the next first draft.<br /><br />Kudos to your intense 1392 minute editing. <br /><br />Michele R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-32161506167356791962012-08-28T06:45:49.026-04:002012-08-28T06:45:49.026-04:00My work in progress is actually works in progress;...My work in progress is actually works in progress; I'm writing a cycle of short stories about three characters, and I bounce around among the stories, enhancing this one, clarifying that one, setting the stage here, fulfilling it there.<br /><br />I've sent a few out for consideration, but so far no bites. I keep on keeping on.

I don't normally read much of your genre, but I enjoyed what I critiqued enough that I will definitely be keeping an eye out for it once it's published. <br /><br />I recently started working on a Fantasy novel (hopefully the beginning of a series, but I'm not getting ahead of myself), but though I had general ideas about the story I wanted to tell, I was having an almost impossible time organizing my thoughts. Even my outline seemed to be going off in directions I had no interest in going, so I was getting pretty discouraged.<br /><br />But then, a couple days ago, I was browsing around on the web, and I found an author named Randy Ingermanson and his "Snowflake Method". For people who have trouble really organizing their thoughts like I was, this method is amazing. Seriously. Google it.<br /><br />Anyway, I started using the method, and I have accomplished more in the last two days than I had in the entire last month. This has renewed my passion and excitement for my project, and I'm thrilled to be moving the process along (finally)! So now I'm getting a true outline nailed down, and there is a foreseeable light at the end of the tunnel.<br /><br />If I can stick to the general plan, I should be able to have a completely fleshed out outline, with a full plot synopsis and character synopses in possibly about a month to a month and a half from now. With all of that already nailed out, I could very likely get a first draft finished in a month or less. After that, we'll see, but it's very exciting to finally start seeing my ideas get on paper in some sort of a rational fashion!<br /><br />Jeremy Lyn RobinsJeremy Lyn Robinshttp://www.jeremylynrobins.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3546477542650006798.post-10738331396843825192012-08-27T09:10:20.464-04:002012-08-27T09:10:20.464-04:00Well Rick, because of you and a crit you did of th...Well Rick, because of you and a crit you did of the very first piece I ever subbed, I am in the process of re-working that ms. The advice you gave was on target and great. I just had to get my big girl panties on in order to recieve the intent. Which was help. Eyes open, fingers poised--delete!
