The plans the thing...

Ok so real life has receded and it looks like I have the entire weekend to work at the revision. I don't even have dishes hanging over my head (woot).  (Although now that I think about it, I should probably get some laundry going)... (update 10:16: laundry's going, beds made, a few other chores finished and I am good and leftovers for lunch) WOOT- this is great.

Plan today:
(Yesterday I got through about 15 scenes, something like that)
1.) Finish the read through, documenting any issues I find (about 60 scenes to go)
2.) Next I need to go through all my annotations and organize any questions into one word document (places wherever I wasn't sure which way to go with it or need to really decide what a character was thinking/knows). And just to clarify: I will be making all decisions before I move on to next step- even the tiniest thing- If I don't know the answer, I will include it as a question and get the decision made (ex what symbol, what name, what color, etc, etc.)

Then the rest of the plan (whatever I can fit in, this weekend and into the next couple of weeks):
1.) Make the decisions/choose which way to go with it.
2.) Update the novel to match my decisions- by the time I'm done, all annotations should be accounted for (unless it's a note about awkward wording).
Part that scares me and will take the most time:
3.) Create/rewrite the ending so that it's an actual ending and feels like a reward for reading the book.
4.) And then I think I'll stop there and start planning book 2.  (I think I'm going to leave all the prettying up on bk 1 for after I'm done with the bk 2.)
5.) Get book 2 written... :)

(Due date for completion of high level revision: End of January)
