I am going to, for nano, rewrite Addergoole Book One.
Yeah. That. Re-write, from scratch, keeping just the framework.
I want to have a coherent outline going in.
How you can help: Noteworthy moments from the original that you would like to hold on to, fond moments, anything you think should go into the outline.
Thanks!

Kailani slipping out of Rozen’s grasp on Hellnight. Re a comment over on Dreamwidth, I thought Kailani hadn’t Changed. There was no reference to her Change at all anywhere that I picked up on…
It never came up in the story, which is something I have to fix. Kai had Changed before she ever came to school. She just never noticed.
Thought she had a 24 hour virus or didn’t even notice that?
Mostly-Grigori Change so yeah, probably a 24-hour virus sort of feeling and moved on
Hm. I like a lot of the early scenes between Ty and Jamian and Conrad and Kai and Shahin and Emrys. Once it gets to the co-written stuff there’s a lot less in the way of memorable moments, I think, and filler you can cut. I think the second half needs more sex scenes, or the first bit needs less – even the amount of sex out between people/parts of the timeline, you know?
Ah, you’re talking about the whole 13 books, not the first one, yes? I think I can get it down to 9 or 10 books 😀
Yesss, I missed the ‘Book One’ part.
Well, I may to the whole thing eventually. Book one has the advantage of mostly not being co-written and the disadvantage of being the first long project I wrote.
