The Rewriting Process

The rewriting on the rough draft of The Cross has begun.  I have rewritten, in longhand the first chapter.  I need to put in into the computer on my next two days off.  I wrote them while I was at work.  I amonthsm blessed that I do not have a job where I have to do much thinking.  I basically just have to show up and they pay me. 

I then got out index cards and am writing each scene on a card with:

Setting
POV
Goal
Conflict
Resolution

That way I will focus on the conflict and to make sure that each scene has conflict in it and not some boring scene. 

My deadline to get this rewritten in by June.  4 1/2 months.  By June, I will have quit my job and will be able to start the next rewrite process which will be to flesh out each scene more, with detail, description and fleshing out the conflict. 

I have to get busy.  It is one thing to write in long hand and think I am making progress.  It is another thing to put those pages into the computer.

So this is my rewriting process.  I am excited about this year.  I have goals I want to complete this year and it is not going to get done by talking about it.  If I don't write there is no reason to quit my job or even be on-line.  The only reason I have the internet is to self-publish,,,,for me it is now or never. 

What are you doing to see your writing goals become a reality this year?
