Each draft seems to present its own set of challenges. Right now, I'm stuck on the shape of it. There are two stories intertwined, one very much in the present and the other about nothing but the past. It's finding the balance, a way to keep the present story alive while going back in time with which I am currently struggling. ... The last draft, I know, is a two week or so process. I read it over a bunch of times with the red pencil in hand, taking out whatever is clunky, awkward, unnecessary. The drafts between now and then... I'm aiming for two months on each.
