So that took longer than I thought

anthimeriaI think that should be my motto for Trial. Just finished the applying the hard copy edits, which means I have an official draft II, clocking in at 35701 words. This is MUCH shorter than I thought this draft would be--though to be fair I cut at least a thousand words, if not more, so the actual number of words added is higher.
The next draft is going to be focused on big picture issues, including the new subplot I discovered needs to be added. To do it right, I need to do two things: one, step away for a while to gain perspective, and two, sit down and actually read the ms in one go. Because of the time it took to do the edits that comprise dii, I haven't actually done this yet, and it needs doing.
But not right now. Right now I need to get serious on the worldbuilding and outlining for my next project, which hopefully I will be able to tell you about in my next post!
Unless I read something interesting before then, in which case you'll get a book recommendation first.
