So here's the deal.
As i've mentioned, i wrote this novel, "Losing Candyland," in November. It was 84,000 words and a completely incomprehensible mess. After cutting out the utter garbage (and losing most of ACT II and III) i'm left with a 44,000 word manuscript of slightly-above-garbage.
My goal is to rewrite (and write anew) until i have something around 80,000 that gets all the way to THE END that i am not too terribly embarrassed to call "draft 1"
I'm treating the novel as a part time job. I work on it for four 45 mins sessions (preferably in the morning, with at least 15 mins break between them.) I'll post here how it goes, maybe with some excerpts and a word count. But the goal is to work on it.
