I'd like to finish this last (huge) revision of my epic fantasy novel.
It's been quite the journey writing this baby. It feels like I've written not one but five books. I learned so much since starting it. I guess I could have abandoned this WIP for other projects, but that initial idea turned out to be sticky.
By a huge rewrite, I mean HUGE. I don't know if six weeks will be enough. But I've been sitting on this project for so long that I can't take it anymore. Some pressure will hopefully help me get it done.
I'm itching to start working on something new.
Milestones:
Finish revision of Part 1 by July 4th
Finish revision of Part 2 by July 18th
Finish revision of Part 3 by July 30th
Reevaluated Milestones after 1st week:
Ok, I realized that filling in extra worldbuilding and back story takes a lot more time than just fixing plot problems. This is the first time I am revising a WIP in this way, so my time estimation was off. It takes longer. Plus, for various practical reasons, my priorities have changed. I would like to have finished the first round of revision of a novella by the end of the Write-a-thon because I will have the opportunity to send it to some beta-readers in August. So, new milestones:
Finish revision of Part 1 of novel
Finish novella revision
Reevaluated Milestones after 2nd week:
Right! I learned some about time management and setting realistic goals. So new focus:
Focus on the revision of my novella.
Finish up a couple of short pieces and make them submission-ready.
