Reading through Awaken - Horror novel Rough Draft

So, my horror novel, Awaken, is done baking and now I'm reading through the rough draft. The first fourth of it is pretty polished, then I went through a NaNo frenzy on finishing it, got 50,000 rough (aka badly formed) words on it, then finished the entire novel in February.

Now, after letting it sit, I'm reading through it as my cats battle for my attention.

Looking forward to polishing this one up! I love the characters and I love my world. I'll have to write more about it here.

rough draft finished

So, one more rough draft primed and ready to go.

The horror novel is done. Lots of edits to be made, but all in all the skeleton and some of the sinew is all mapped out.

My intention is to let it sit for a month, then come back for the hack/slash editing. My first 5ish chapters are pretty good/polished, but even those have to be updated for things I've put in later in the book.

This one is exciting, heart-breaking, and full of mystery.

I can't wait!
