Finished rev2 of part 2 outline (phew!) Going to outline part 3 (again)...
#seconddraft #wip #Writesky
My 1st draft is usually just me entertaining myself.
The 2nd draft is me remembering there’s a reader.

These are pages from my previous #webcomic Side Quest, where #PeletheRow takes a bath in an ink fountain and then splatters Numskull with ink (the setting is an endless library from the OCT Second Draft)

Five weeks of repose.
Now the second draft of LIGHTS.
Working the big chunks first.

Who knew that having a full outline is actually helpful when working on the second draft?🤔

Revelation — Hindsight, Chapter 12, Part 2
Bill pushed the snow shovel across the driveway. The work was therapeutic. Simple. Physical. Mindless. The solitude was too much of a luxury. open.substack.com/pub/neilshoo...

One beta reader described my book as "well-written" and complimented my grammar and characters.
Another reported, "Well, I've gotten through two chapters and I'm not horrified yet."
Praise pouring in from all over!

After several days of rain, even the grass was starting to look green again. Pine cones lay scattered on the ground, where they had fallen. So much had changed. open.substack.com/pub/neilshoo...

Draft 2 done! I insta forwarded a copy to my alpha readers and ate a chocolate bar in celebration. #Drafting #Writing #SecondDraft #Editing
1 editing session from a complete second draft! So excited. The manuscript grew from 83k to 101k, all the more goodness to enjoy. #Drafting #Writing #SecondDraft
Working on the second draft during a snow storm. This draft is filling in holes I didn’t realize I had, and I am so glad the I have the chance in life to do this! Off to write the next chapter in Locke’s journey! Until the Moon Breaks 🌙 #seconddraft #wip #writersky #booksky #nextchapter #winter
Didn’t think I’d be adding extra scenes this early into the process. All a part of reviewing and making the second draft I suppose. I am so excited to see where the rest of this journey takes Locke and me! Until the Moon Breaks 🌙 #seconddraft #wip #writersky #debutnovel #repercussionssaga #authorsky
Feels surreal to finish the first draft after 3 long years. Never thought I’d be making a post like this 😭 Here’s towards new horizons. #authorsky #writersky #wip #firstdraft #seconddraft
The Darkness — Hindsight, Chapter 11, Part 2
Bill leaned on the snow shovel and sighed. His breath made a cloud in front of his face.

Hindsight — Chapter 10 — Oct 2020 — Ride the Second Wave
All year, it’s been December that I was worried about, but October is the month that has given me the most trouble.

Maxwell cast a sideways glance at Tyson, who was merrily squelching his Kraft Dinner around his high-chair tray and not getting much of it in his mouth.

A couple of days late, but better late than never!
The coming cold front would clear out the colours. Winter was coming, and he was filled with foreboding about it.

Will was out of sorts. He didn’t say it out loud, but he didn’t need to: Juss knew exactly what he was going through

Sadly I've never officially participated in an #OCT, but I followed quite a few since like 2008/2009, and even did a comic that was unoffically set in the same place as the tournament ( #SecondDraft ):

He smiled at the view, even though it was overcast, and the grey sky dulled the colours; they'd moved here for views like this

Red Herrings are lovely, but am I smart to enough to pull one off? Well no. No I'm not. But that doesn't mean I can't try. So I did...and it just needs tweaking! #SecondDraft #Novel about a #Reincarnated #Soul being controlled by an #Immortal who seeks to claim his #FirstLove only for them to rebel!
#MacGuffin and why didn't I think about that before? Because my brain DOESN'T work like that first time round. So yeah, I introduced the 'green glowy thing' earlier. Which'll pop up again tomorrow in my notes, twenty or so pages later! #SecondDraft #Novel #Reincarnation & #Souls
So Shall He Reap — Hindsight, Chapter 9, Part 3
Bill had the table set up on the flat area at the top of the slope, and the knives and kitchen shears were laid out on a chair.

Nope. Lost momentum now. But that's okay. I'm 31 pages in & it's only day one of my #seconddraft typing up. So I'm good. Yeah. I'll take a break for now... #Editing #Novel
