I'm back on track with my novel. Not only is it conceivable that I'll have a rough draft finished by the end of the summer, it's actually highly likely. I got this writer's digest magazine from Barnes and Noble the other night, and I highly recommend it for any stuck novelists out there. It's brimming with helpful, encouraging advice for people at all stages of novel writing, and it pulled me out of my stagnating funk.

The other night I saved my lumbering, mostly useless 80,000 word draft to CD, then opened my files and slashed out every scene that wouldn't work, putting in summaries and notes of things I need to rework, rewrite and just come up with completely. So now I have a draft in progress again that is not in the least intimidating. I'm still working on the first chapter of the second section, but I've already rewritten half of it. Last night I was able to trim down one unwieldy scene from seven to two pages.

I haven't been this energized about my book in a long, long time. If all goes well, I could be submitting to publishers as early as next summer.

So...anybody want to help edit?
