Writerly resolutions: October status

The big news this month was that I finished the first draft of the novel (finally). I then proceeded to print the whole thing out and get it ring-bound at the UPS store (I later realized that it would have been cheaper—if slower—to have that printing done by lulu.com instead).

I continue working on the new story (I ended up missing my over-optimistic goal of finishing it in a month, but I’m aiming for my next turn at the workshop table to have it ready. A bit of reading that was putatively unrelated to anything that I’m writing made me reconsider the original path of one of the characters but I think that this will result in a stronger story.
