I’ve finished my novel length work of fiction… sort of. I’ve said this before. I’ve been here before. So, now, I add the caveat of sort of.
This is the fourth time I’ve rewritten this story… sort of. There was a first draft, then two rewrites in the original format, though neither was a full rewrite, and now there’s the new version – switched from first person to third. So, the first full rewrite, which is technically roughly the fourth iteration, is finished. Now, it’s time to edit. I’m fairly certain that this is the last time I’m going to completely rewrite.
This version, which took nearly a year to write, is much different than the previous – which obviously means nothing to anyone other than my wife (the only other reader thus far) – and I’m pleased with how it has turned out. Hopefully, I’m getting closer to the end. Not because I want to be done writing, but because I’m looking forward to starting the publishing/rejection process, and I’m looking forward to starting whatever comes next.
