(Show us the way)

Late post is late, but I finally got a job offer yesterday! What that means for my writing, I don’t know yet. But I’ll work it out.

Goal 1) Revise TAP 2

  • My Goal: Finish one lesson every two weeks (roughly)
  • Where I planned to be: Lesson 4 complete
  • Where I am: Lesson 4 complete; Lesson 5, 11 scenes in
  • On Target or Behind: On Target

How’s It Going:

Lesson 4 is one of the few lessons that is not only hard to measure progress on, but honestly doesn’t take much work. It’s actually kinda fun to lay all my index cards out and look at the various threads I’ve weaved together without really trying, sussing out what they actually are, and pinpointing where I went wrong with them.

Lesson 5 is quite a bit more work, digging far deeper into the conflict of each scene than probably anyone else would care to, which is part of why I started on it early. But it’s a great exercise to see which scenes are rock solid, which could use some help, and which missed the boat completely. So far, I haven’t had any of the latter, so let’s hope it stays that way.
