Earlier this week I finally started a second draft of the novel I wrote for National Novel Writing Month (a.k.a. NaNoWriMo). I had really intended to start on this a couple of months ago, but you know …baby and all. It’s still called “Sewing Oats”, but only because I haven’t come up with anything better.
I think that I’m going to borrow a page from Chris Buecheler and publish the second draft in small, frequent updates. Maybe start off with updates on Monday, Wendesday and Friday to see how it goes. Chris is currently doing this with one of his projects (well worth the read, by the way) and it seems to be going well.
But before I put too much time into this, let me ask: Would anyone out there even be interested in this? I know that sticking with it would have a lot to do with the quality of the novel, but I’m curious as to whether or not you’re curious enough to at least try the first chapter or so.
Eh?
I’d be interested if you posted it. I currently read CDebris’ updates every day … I dig that sort of thing.
I’ll read it. 🙂
Ditto.
I’ll read it!
Cool. And if nothing else, it will keep me on a schedule to get the second draft finished so I can move on to other projects.
I think I’ll start posting it in pieces next week, starting on the 12th. I’ve been going through it and fixing minor grammatical stuff and making notes for larger rewrites.
I’d like to read it but I’m relatively swamped right now – would you keep it on a separate page as well, that we can access later?
Oh yeah, I would post it to a subsection of the site. I wouldn’t want to expose the random clicker-by to this. 🙂
