Delays

 Sometimes in life, things get held back somehow. The revision process of my novel is currently one of those things. 

In the past month, I'd had to juggle between working on this novel AND proofreading my client's manuscript. But now that my work deadline has come and gone, I can once again focus fully on my story. 

YAAAY. 

So hey, I'm back and doing my best to make plot and characters and theme and everything else come together cohesively. I've been looking over previous discarded scenes and dialogue that I've written and it made me realise just how much changes this novel has gone through since its inception. 

Is that normal, I wonder? Perhaps that just shows how much of a novice I am. Hehe. But oh well, I can't deny that. I've not had much success writing long forms of fiction right up till now. 

And where's things at right now, you ask? 

Well, I'm hoping to wind up the story arc for 2 out of my 4 main characters. These are the 2 that I've fretted about the most, so hopefully once theirs have been cleared, the remaining 2 will be smoother sailing. 

I had hoped that I could submit the revised version of my novel to the prospective publisher before/by my birthday which is coming up. It's unlike that's going to happen, but let's see if I can make it before end of November, maybe? But even that seems like wistful thinking. 

Meanwhile, I've got some time alone this evening so let's hope more progress can be made to the story. I'll see you back here again some time soon.
