Camp: Day 4

And splitting the chapters into scenes is done! I realized I'd written a lot more of the plot than I'd thought so that was the happy discovery of today.

Also, I started in on the scene summaries. They will be my "outline" I refer to while I'm editing. Once I'm done with the scene summaries, then I'll be able to focus completely on rewriting and writing the new material.

Camp: Day 3

Well, I have managed to actually write something! No revising or editing done, but I wrote the first of the new scenes for the new POV. And I finally know (or think I know) where Lia's POV is headed. Yay! Also, Lia's personality and motivations are coming into clearer focus. Same goes for Lwyn. So I think I'll be well prepared by the time I get around to writing/completing the climax and book.

Camp: Day 2

So, not as much done today (mostly because of a combination of procrastination and job hunting). But I accomplished some work.


  • I split up to chapter 14 into scenes
  • I removed two chapters and moved the scenes to other chapters tagging them for rewriting.
I hope to finish splitting the chapters into scenes tomorrow but we'll see. However, I'm going to attempt to start writing the new portions tomorrow as well! Lia's story begins tomorrow. :)

Camp NaNoWriMo: Day 1

The first day is over! So, I set out today to finish getting Kaja ready for revision. This meant breaking up the manuscript into chapters and scenes and identifying where I need to write new material from the new POV. I'd also hoped to write scene summaries today, but I didn't quite get to that.

Here's a brief summary of what I did:

  • I broke it up into 22 chapters.
  • I split up to chapter 8 into the separate scenes.
  • I identified 6 new chapters to write and 2 chapters to rewrite according to Lia's (the other MC's) POV. (I think I'm going to have to write around 30-40k words of new material just to finish the story and write in the new POV. That's almost a NaNo in and of itself.)
Another idea I have churning around is the possible addition of a 3rd POV which would be a villain, but I not sure yet as to whether that would work.

Oh and on one final note, here is a lovely cover that a friend designed for me upon my request. Isn't it cool!

Until next time.
