I have been rewriting my first novel for the last week and it’s been going amazingly well. Even a little too well. It seems that every time I finish a chapter and start a new one, I get a new idea and have to start all over again. The plot has evolved so that the sub-plot I intended to add, has somehow become the main focus of the book.
I’m starting to wonder if it was a mistake to add the plot to the book to begin with, and that perhaps I should have written a new book altogether. Can you ruin a good story by adding too much into it? I believe you can.
So when do I stop? Where do I stop? How do I stop? I’ve decided that on Sunday evening I will close the last chapter on my first novel and start to write a profile on it. After that it’s on to my next chick book.
Ps. Thanks to the people who have sent me recommendations on telescopes. I still have a few weeks to decide ;-)
