Draft Excitement

Capri Capers is a complete draft. That doesn't mean it's ready for viewing only that it has a complete story in it.
A complete draft is special. Bringing it to life as a novel is exciting in many ways. The main character Harriet is becoming a good friend. Arthur is so shy around Harriet. The villains are more difficult but even they are coming to be people instead of stereotype villains.
Satisfying as doing this rewrite is, it doesn't have the excitement of creating a new draft. Rewriting a draft has constraints. The ending is known. Much of the plot line and story arc is known.
A new draft is just that: new. There are some ideas to form the story and plot lines but they are loose, easily altered. The main characters are still shadowy people waiting for a spotlight to reveal them.
November is time for to create a new draft. The idea has been percolating for a year and more. Anticipation is building. There are a few bits of research to wrap up and a week to get it done.
Until then Capri Capers will plod along.
