In about half an hour I’ll be off down to see Owen to pick up the hard copy of one of our stories that we’re about to re-write.  I feel like I’m ready to write this story now so I cant wait to read it through and make my notes before re-writing it.  This leads me to wanting to talk about how we do this.  For me I’m going to change how I normally do this.  When I’ve done this before I would make my notes on the first read through.  The big downside to his was that as I was reading I’d make a note questioning a particular sentence but then I’d read the next sentence and realise that it’s explained.  So what I’m going to do this time is read it before I start making notes,  I may even read it twice before I get cracking with it.  I think this will let the story grow even better than it has already.  At the moment it is 20,000 words give or take.  When I started on my draft of this I though it would hit about 30,000 and with some of the details and world building that I would like to put in I think it could get to at least 25,000 words.  One of the major plot holes that the story had I think I’ve solved yesterday and I came up with a couple of other little details that I think will help as well.  Now all I have to do is get it, read it and then get writing but its the weekend so I’m off to a friend’s house tonight and then out with my girlfriend tomorrow so not much writing will get done but some R&R is needed.

I hope that you all have a good weekend 🙂
