I've mentioned a few times that my brain is a never-ending fountain of randomness. Proof appeared last night in the midst of work on my PoP story. For whatever reason, I decided to take a break and pull out my Sarat file. And now I can't focus on anything else.
I wrote Sarat years ago for a creative writing class. It started as a short story that would fill about 20 pages and would be based off of a previous work or author writing style. My teacher gave me the Harry Potter series. But, as we all know, I am incapable of sticking to page guidelines. It went from 20 to 160 in the span of two months.
As of right now, its the only full length novel I have posted for others to read. I have more finished, but I'm not entirely comfortable sharing them because I would like to get them published professionally. Yeah, right. But I'm still going to try.
At any rate, I've picked up my Sarat revisions where I left off. My guess? I'll probably get to around 200 pages. Eek. If I can stay on track and keep my focus on the story, I can have the edited version up within a week or so. There are a lot of things I never explained, words I misspelled (shudders) and plot points that need to be moved around. Its a rather daunting task. But I think I can manage it.
Regardless of where I get to in the Sarat rewrites, I will have the next round of chapters up for my FanFiction stories by next week. I'm in the middle of a 7 day work week...otherwise I'd be more diligent.
