Rewriting...

About a year ago, maybe even a year and a half ago, I started writing a novel called 'The Outsiders'. It's a dystopian novel, because of the current phase I'm going through, about I wrote about 30,000 words in a big writing spaz I went through. Then I got bored and put it aside got bored and put it aside for a while so work on numerous other things that were much more pressing at the time. I started to work on it again a few months ago, got it up to 50,000 and then stopped writing again.

I was sick of what I was writing because it had a plot that had just started to fall apart and I kind of wanted to kick it to death for lack of originality. Now, a few days ago, I got a new idea for the story and decided to start again.

Now, for the first time ever, I am going to brave the world of COMPLETE REWRITING! I've re-designed a lot of the characters an rebuilt the main plot into a dystopian cyborg story. At currently 50,000 words, my estimate is that about 25,000 are actually useable but at least I have something that I can start with.

It's currently September and I am on school holidays for two weeks, and I'm aiming to have this finished (first draft at least) before November 1st because November is the month that I will devote to NaNoWriMo and a completely new project that is undecided at the current point of times

Ideally, I might even have the first draft done in two weeks, because I would really like to devote the majority of October to NaNoWriMo planning and of course, actual NaNoWriMo writing in November, before I start the editing on 'The Outsiders' in December.

So, now I'm off to start Re-Writing and I really hope that Dystopian Cyborgs serve me much better then the mess that I've currently got.
