Earlier this week I had thought to make a goal of reading 3 chapters a day and realized I wouldn't be able to handle that, then I thought maybe 3 chapters a week but I didn't like the 10 week timeline, oh wait, no the 10 week timeline seemed feasible. I think I didn't like the idea of trying to do 1 chapter per week and revise it too because that meant at least 30 weeks if I stuck to it.
I think I still want to read 3 chapters a day, it's just the problem with that is that I end up wanting to fix things and maybe it's not a bad thing but I think I should probably get through reading it from front to back to get a good sense of the big picture. Which I think I do. I know in my revision I'd like to incorporate more of NoAw's POV since he was originally the fourth POV until Bee came in and took over. I also think I'm going to split out TYW. One section will be surrounding the 4 years before, During, and maybe the 4 years after. I'm still trying to workout the timeline.
Btw, reading Cinder right now. I'm sort of moving back and forth with my feelings about it but I like reading about the world and how nuggets are introduced which is helping me shape my own thoughts of how I should work the world in the TYW for the reader. Cinder is also making my mind tinker with my space story as well as the revenge deity story, as I read it, I find myself randomly thinking about scenes I've written down for the two novels.
At any rate... that is my update. I figured I should post something here since I've fallen off.
Revision is hell isn't it? I try really hard to not get down about not writing anything new when I revise but it's really difficult. I hope you end up enjoying Cinder. Especially since it's sparking some good ideas for you.
