One Last Push

[skull_bearer]

I'm re-reading and editing the old chapters of AIoM to get it ready for NaNo again this year. The later chapters especially need a lot of editing, I started a completely usless subplot which need to be thrown into the crematoria and burnt with the rest. Pile of pointless shit.

It's odd, because with the first few chapters its gotten to the point where there's not much I can do with them now. They've been raked over, steamrolled, hashed out in front of fellow students and tutors alike and finally dropped in that state where I can't change much. Which is good, yeah, but its a bit weird. I write flat out until the plot falls over, then backtrack, rewrite, try again, and hopefully end up going a bit further than last time. Last NaNo, for all its issues, at least got me within spitting distance of 1945, and I hope the next one will allow me to push once and for all to the end. The middle was always the hardest part of AIoM, the end was one of the first things I plotted. It reeks of 2008 depression time, but I don't think I could change it now, its become too integral to the story.

Fingers crossed, I'll finish it this year.
