my novel's second draft

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2001.05.03

I was having a critical look over my novel today. It seems to be coming together. I'm at the 95% mark of the second draft, now. I think I know a few more mood/setting stuff I want to put in, then it's time to tackle the last real problem; the kinda sludgy zone where the hero decides to make his move.

Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try.
