Today I finished the 4th draft of my fourth Magda book. Feels wonderful. I’ve added 4,00 words since the 3rd draft. The plot pieces have moved around and the logic is falling into place.
Is it still a mystery? I don’t know. Is it a love story? Not really, though love is there throughout the story. Is it a book for kids 9 to 12? Maybe. It’s about kids, but perhaps the subject makes the book too painful for kids to want to read.
It’s the book I wanted to write, is all I know.
When I write the next draft, number 5, I’ll concentrate on imagery, mood, suspense, the language that makes up the story’s tone. This is the part that I love the most.
After the next draft, I hope to be ready to show it to a good editor. I know that I’ll be doing more rewriting after that. And so it goes.
Any suggestions?
