Science Fiction Writers Workshop

Last night I finished the rewrite of Chapter Three, "The Falling Star". Next up, "Gods And Men", Chapter Four.

I hope, with this rate of work, to have the rewrite done by the end of November. The novel consists of a Preface, Introduction, and 53 chapters comprising about 227.000 words. So far, I have rewritten the Preface, Inroduction and first three chapters, comprising about 17,000 words. Obviously a lot of work remains to be done: fifty chapters and about 210,000 words.

Fortunately, rewriting is something I enjoy.

For anyone interested, this is a daybook of the writing of a novel.

"World of the Scarlet Sun: Nomads of the Gods"

I may update it from time to time, daily/weekly whenever it moves me to do so.

The first two chapters, with the introduction and preface, are rewritten. I am rewriting my collaborators rough first draft. After I am finished with the first pass, it will be proofread and polished by the two of us working together.

You're welcome to take a look at the story to this point, see the attachments.
