marfiskI've been bad about updating my progress on Kyrnie, but I've really been making progress. With my new process, I've been completing a chapter every couple of days, not including the two weeks I went off on vacation. I have completely rewritten scenes, crafted new scenes for information that didn't exist before, and copied existing scenes in almost letter perfect (okay, with a lot of minor changes). This book seems to need them all and that's half why it seemed more efficient to retype, as gruesome as that sounds.
When I first started this type-in technique, I was desperate and skeptical. I hope none of my other books requires some of the same, but for this one, I'm committed. Yep, show me a way that works, however painful, and I'll jump on the bandwagon ;). I like this story. I've liked it since the first version. However, thanks to some very telling feedback from my critiquers, I know it needs work and I can say with confidence that the version I'm producing now is much better than the previous ones :).
Oh, and unless I find great amounts to cull, it'll be stretching the limits, but at this point I don't care. I can shorten sentences and do whatever's necessary once I've got the story perfected :).
Stats:
(These are slightly different than before because I realized I wasn't providing the editing statistics by using the writing ones.)
Total edited (new word count): 72415
Original total: 117935
Remainder: 45520
Actual to do (accounting for new words): 62322
134737 Estimated length
94 scenes
51 complete - 54% of the novel
43 Scenes remain
