lizvogelOh, yeah, this.
The goal for June was to finish the novel revisions before 4th Street. Oh well. Nice thought, that, but, um, no. I did manage to get the last massive change (a huge chunk of mostly-new material, turning one chapter into two again) into my beta-reader's hands before I left, and she got me her feedback to incorporate before the end of the month. However, she quite reasonably wanted a rest after that, so the last few chapters are rescheduled for July.
Word count wasn't the point this month, but just for the record:
first novel revisions = 2435
Total new words in June = 2435
Still to do: See if my beta approves the addition to the action climax. Tweak the end so it's less clunky. There's a reference I need to work into an earlier chapter, and there might be another to work into the next-to-last scene. And that, please ghods and microfiche, should be it. At least until somebody with a contract in hand says otherwise. ;-)
So, July's goal is the above, and also to get my query and synopsis finally done. The query's making progress, I think; it's definitely better, although whether it's better enough remains to be seen. I dread looking at the synopsis again. And then, once all that's done, it's time to send it out.
