Finished it yesterday. A little nervous about writing the second draft, because there are a lot of tension, pacing, and plot issues that I need to work on.
- Tension issue = too much at the beginning, not enough build up. Starts with a bang, ends with...well, an equally big bang, which by then feels like a whimper.
- Pacing issue = well, it's a short, so I guess there isn't much of an issue. It has one pace: fast. Maybe I won't worry so much about this.
- Plot issue = not much of a plot, kinda want to beef it up. Need to tie up a couple of loose ends, but that shouldn't be too hard...
Still have my out-by-October deadline (that is, sent out to a publisher), but I realize I might have to compromise and push it back for the sake of quality. At least if I have an October deadline in mind, I can get it out by November. Then I'll be free to work on my steampunk story, which I am really drooling after. Was reading through my plot notes today and had myself on the edge of my seat. I'm just sayin'. ;)
Love, fangs, and fur. :)
