Story Milestone - Lightbearers Rough Draft · 11:47pm Nov 13th, 2017
Well, after numerous setbacks and delays, I'm finally back on track to finishing this mess.
I had hoped to have the rough draft for this story finished last spring, summer at the latest; but so much kept getting in the way. Mostly depression keeping me from writing at all, issues with a new roommate moving in, and my job becoming far busier, leaving me with less free time with which to work on the story. But thanks to taking a week off work, and work finally starting to slow down a bit, I'm caught up.
So, the full rough draft of all three books of the Lightbearers trilogy is complete. That's not to say that it's anywhere even remotely readable yet, I have a whole lot of work to do before I get a first draft ready for editing; but everything I want to say is down, all the scenes, transitions, and narration there and ready for pounding and bending and honing into something resembling a story. Albeit not a particularly coherent one.
I'm hoping that the next phase will go much faster, and I'll have the first readable draft ready sometime before spring; but as I'm also looking at having to move within the next few months (working on buying a house), I'm not sure that is going to to be a realistic goal.
Oh well, it'll be finished when it's finished, and then I'll find something else to obsess over (already have a half-dozen other stories in the works). And maybe get back to doing some reviews. I have been missing doing those.
