Two revisions
Thought I would let people know that I am revising two novels at the same time. Both are Steampunk even though one is straight steampunk set in our time, while the other is a Preindustrial Steampunk Fantasy Fusion.
The first one is The Courier and was last years National Novel Writing Month novel. (For more info on that go to nanowrimo.com or check out the nanowrimo community here on G+. Basically they want you to write a at least 50,000 word novel during November. They give you helps and advice.)
Anyway, with the Courier I will be adding a chapter or three as well as revising it. I finished chapter one with a bit over 800 words added to it. That is after deleting some. I started Chapter two. The below pic, by Vincent Warrican, will be the bases for the cover, I hope. I have talked to him about that but this has taken me longer to get to than I had hoped at the time.
The second novel is a Serial I placed here on G+ a few months back. Segments came out every week for months. I have almost totally revised the first chapter so if anyone read it they will notice the large number of changes. I added a character or two, moved numerous sentences and paragraphs and added a ton of new writing: descriptions and details and inner thoughts of my hero. If anyone is interested in reading the original here is the Collection that contains it. https://plus.google.com/collection/IUI_Y This revision will probably take me longer than the Courier.
I hope to have each done by the end of the year-it could be sooner on the Courier but I have a number of other projects to do also. I enter a certain contest every three months and need to write my next story for it, This time it will be a rewrite of a certain older story. Plus I have flash stories to write every week another contest to enter if I get on the ball. And any other sorts of writing ideas that may demand attention.
