I crossed the 30,000 word mark on my revision of Genesis Earth today. In the old draft, that would be more than halfway through.
However, a lot of that (about 1,700, to be more precise) was adding in new material to fill in some gaps. It’s not quite halfway done yet.
I think I’m mostly through the rough parts, though. I’m solidly in the section that I wrote last January, so as long as I can get my character arcs straight and do a better job showing them gradually changing, everything else should go fairly smoothly.
And now I’m going to get to bed. Even though I don’t have classes and I could sleep in until noon, I should wake up early. You know, productivity and all that.
Sounds like you’re making some excellent progress. Revision–especially for long pieces like novels–is quite a beastly task (as I just learned from finishing the final for Brandon on Saturday). So kudos to you for getting so much work done on it.
I’m definitely interested in being a beta-reader if you need some.
Good luck on the rest of the revisions. Way to be productive.
