MOTHER REVISIONS PROGRESS THREAD!!!

A dark coming of age story for traumatized adults filled with magic that will make your skin crawl, witch hunters with sinister agendas, & a daughter that will stop at nothing until her mother is dead.

For lovers of TANGLED + SHARP OBJECTS

For those who don't know, the purpose of this particular revisions is to prepare this project to be submitted for Pitch Wars 2020! As such I have roughly two months to whip this thing into shape and so I'm both excited, and nervous.

80% done with the read through so I’m going to bed

Woke up randomly and finished the read through. Now I meditate on my thoughts for the next couple of days.

IT'S HAPPENING (changed pic bc I'll not have people stealing things thanks)

10% of the way done with this read-through... yikes lol.

Okay I talked my way through the beat sheet (like literally, talked out loud to nobody at all) and I think I got myself in a good position to have this whole book structured tomorrow morning.

Outlining, re-outlining, changing the total word count. This is fun.

The good news is this read through is going well, did five chapters out of 22 so I'm taking a break to eat a chocolate muffin.

Sharing this because there is no way it will survive revisions for reasons, but... god I'm funny. #amwriting

12/22 chapters read so far today

The condensed version of my revision notes is a little over a page, and this feels like something that I can actually work with.

My book is GRIM ya'll

ACT 1 is completely sorted, ACT 3 is sorted but I haven't actually written it out yet, and ACT 2 is going to be the most complicated part but I think I have the tools to make it work-- I just need more time, more thought, and possibly more words/pages to fit everything

Good news!!! Outline is currently 10 pages, it feels very solid, I haven’t filled out ANY of act 2 yet so it’s sure to grow.

After a lot of angst, dms filled with frustration, and hours of video games played the beat sheet is done.

I only had to completely rewrite it in the last hour.

Only had to re-plot the entire finale in order to fix the second act.

Whatever, at least it's stronger now.

I've been VERY bad about putting my updates in this thread but anyway I have been deleting notes as I complete them and it feels good

I also accidentally deleted the 'delete scenes' tab but please know I deleted many scenes and culled an entire arc
