Second Draft Lucky

Monday morning I put the words the end to my first draft of Lucky.
Now comes the hard work. The second draft.Revising is more than cleaning and grammerly.This can be slow drip torture or I can choose to have fun.Do you hear the starting gun?I spent nine hours last night completing mapping behaviors.I built a storyboard for the novel. I made a couple copies to redline. I completed a new spreadsheet.I wrote my to do lists:1.       Cut frivolous description and landscape that does not lead the narrative.2.       Is time line right? Turn it around to start in the middle of his life or ending3.       Do I change ending: other possible endings?4.       Is a psychotic person likeable?5.       Is there too much whining about his childhood?6.       Temper the violence with tenderness. The book is dark. Bum fights, stealing, homeless, murder, drugs. Can humor lighten it up? Seth's idea of love?7.       Plot line twists,  Plot: a crazy young man becomes the CEO of a Chemical Company. Despite all the bad, evil, dumb, negative events and choices in Seth's life he decides to work his way up the ladder and makes it.Characters: Seth deceitful, lacking in empathy, violent, ADHD, impulsive, lacking remorse, ear problems, brain problems, inventionsDad/Doctor a cold inward man, selfish, shallow, Rene the Mother is in pain is gorgeous is cold and selfishSister is not described,  Amy – willful strong beauty driven   brothers Michael Cole need directionGirl he kills- needs a full lifeHer parents grieving angrySeth's success and marriage, rewards, fortune business, takes a path to become the CEOWhat do the characters eat?
