Did you know that March was named after Mars, the Roman god of war? Well, this month I’m declaring war…on my manuscript! After going through a few drafts, there are a couple of things I need to revise:

1) The overall story needs to be consistent and a lot more simplified so that it can stand on its own.

2) The relationship between William and Serafina needs to be more prevalent, because it’s part of the larger plot.

3) Serafina’s path needs to be a bit convoluted, because of her role in the Violet War, but in the story it needs to have a better focus.

4) Integrate the pieces of memory better.

5) When Serafina does enter the Realm, spend more time on her perception of it.

And that’s just for starters! So while I have a really good foundation, it’s not ready to submit to an agent yet. So this month, I’m declaring WAR!

Chaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggeeeeeeeee!
