Re: Re: Learn something new every day!

I anticipate learning new things about my novel all the time. This morning I realized I forgot something within my outline (which should not be the case with that many pages) but now I'm going to have to tweak it. Again.

Probably at least four more times before November starts, and who knows how many times after November starts, and again after I finish that zero draft. (Zero draft is more of a mess than a rough draft. It's a lot like word vomit, and there's no pretty way to clean it up, either. But we don't worry about that during November. Or really at all until you find the end.)

You can't edit a blank page. So fill all those pages and then fix it into that beautiful story that you can see in your head. It's in there, and it's hard work to get it out here to show everyone else. But it's worth it and it is wonderful.
