March Writing and April Goals

[osprey_archer]

It still seems dangerous to say that Sleeping Beauty is going well, but I’ve hit 75,000 words, and at least the book feels like it has a firm foundation and a good, solid structure, so perhaps… it is… going well? Perhaps seventh time is the charm!

At some point I should do a postmortem on What the Fuck Went Wrong with this Drafting Process so it never happens again. But probably I should wait till the book’s done because otherwise the postmortem might crush me with despair.

In April, I intend to continue Sleeping Beauty (I think it’s too early to make “finish a draft” a goal, but we are getting closer) and to prepare Tramps and Vagabonds for publication. Time to bite the bullet and write that blurb and historical note.

Well, they say that any drafting process that results in a book is a successful drafting process, or at least I think they say that.

This is of course true, but nonetheless it is preferable to have a drafting process more efficient than SEVEN GODFORSAKEN DRAFTS.
