I'm in the process of re-writing my sister's favorite book of mine. I wrote the original in *winces* 1995... and it is very dated. Plus (I hope) my writing has grown since then. So I'm ditching everything but the actual premise and starting over. Slimming down characters, reworking plot holes, working on making it actually readable... ya know the normal things.
I probably won't have anything for publication at the end, but hopefully I'll have at least a couple of chapters (if the fanfic that is eating my brain will allow me to work on something else.) Eventually the novel WILL be published, but I don't think it's going to be ready in a month and a half. (Especially with state testing next week and then all the end of year projects.)
On the plus side, I've written SOME type of words for every day this month!
