I like to call the first draft of my manuscript a sketch. There are thin lines connecting all of the points and large areas of space open for details and expansion. After the initial layout comes the ink- when plots and subplots are definitively set. Then the pencil marks go away and flourishes add the personal touch to the world. After all of this, the technical aspects of my manuscript enjoy a tidying and tightening, and it's off to my test readers. After that, it's post production, final edits, and submission.
Why do I share this? Well, Piggy Moto volume II: Accidental Activist is completely sketched. Since NaNoWriMo is still going on, I'm gonna jump right into book three. This time, Corbin is the MC.
