Happy Sunday morning! Waiting for a little or possibly a lot of the cold, white stuff to blanket the landscape. This is my favorite time of year to write! #amrewriting #mystery

I’m rewriting an unpublished mystery I wrote over five years ago and haven’t looked at in at least three years. I see a lot of potential in this story! #mystery #amrewriting

Recently I've been doing a lot of work on the start of the novel writing prologues. In total I've written 6 different core versions with probably another 6 or so refinements. Where has this led me?
To the decision not to include a prologue as they were all too jarring.

#AmReWriting, added 1,500ish words to the draft today (after removing many) and finally hit 59k! The goal is ~75kish and Becca and I have reinstated writer's club, which will help a lot.
I moved, I got hella sick, and I am BACK AT IT.

Last night’s Daily Progress is on Patreon. I may have said a lot about the 4-hour session.

But I still need to cut 38,000 words out of the whole thing, so that's an ongoing challenge.
Onwards.

Novel update:
Revisions continue, even though school holidays throttled my writing time.
I think I've managed to fix this one section in way I describe as making a pleat in the story fabric & sewing so that its edges are undetectable.

Happened 2 days ago and, this time there was a hole - Hester can’t both be in police custody and at a family dinner too can she… #sigh #amrewriting

What is Erin Listening To, the Fri-Yay 1am Morning Edition? Operation: Mindcrime by Queensryche. Cuz I love it. And it's the soundtrack for my WIP, #Survivor, which is 25 years old. #amrewriting #WIP #metalAF #oldprojects #newlife

The benefit of beta readers from diverse backgrounds:
I had one uncover a huge plot hole in my manuscript today that is going to require a major rewrite to fix.
Worth it! This is why early feedback is ESSENTIAL and AMAZING.

Working on my rewrite makes me feel a bit more accomplished than I probably should. I mean, it’s not like I’ve written 25k *new* words or anything
But still…It’s a win for me🏆😏

Withdrawing my queries from agents for the manuscript I'm rewriting is tough, but I know it's going to be such a better novel when I'm done with it this time! 💪

Reading through the old project. I'm probably going to end up doing a total rewrite but only because I write better now than I did a decade ago and I think it'll be better if I do. Need to finish rereading it and make myself a few notes. #amrewriting

Computer screen with finder folder window
Nothing more terrifying than the request for 10-12 unpublished poems - requires intensive digital archaeology and a retrospective desire to have written far, far more #amrewriting #irishpoetry

Another chapter edited/rewritten. Needs a final read out loud and I'll be moving onto one the next one. But 2 to 2.5 hours focused on my text is the maximum I can comfortably do. It's all progress, so that's a positive. #amediting #amrewriting #writingcommunity

When you realise a character is missing from the scene you've just written ... sigh
Oh well. It explains why the scene was flat.

"Headache" meaning:
When your manager mentions something offhand that means you have to rewrite the book you need to have ready by January 1st.

I'm more and more convinced I have written all of the right words, just not in the right order. 🤣
Back to cutting and pasting! #amwriting #amrewriting #histfic #rls

A moodboard of five images: around the edge from top-right: a black and white pair of balled fists; a gas lamp, smoky and orange; a worried man set against a corridor backdrop. He is dressed in a cardigan and shirtsleeves, but has multiple wound-marks on his face; a black and white photo of two brothers' faces in profile. The centre photo is of a manor house open doorway, washed orange, with the following text overlaid: "His vision flashed. A certain lightning ran through him - no longer subtle shivers, but shrill jolts. ENOUGH! He was a pit so deep he forgot his kindness."
The last couple of days, I've been focusing on a chapter which culminates in physical confrontation, either the negative aspects of the stand up plot element or the positive edge of the climax, depending on how you'd look at it.
