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.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
