There is something about settling in to write your revision that churns up all kinds of silt. As you can see, I’m making progress:
And that’s good progress. I’m a little ahead of schedule (according to my marvelous math) and headed toward a clearly-defined endgame.
However…
You see that little smudge between 6 and 7?
Yup. That would be an addendum. It’s not a huge diversion, but I will be adding some material that just didn’t exist.
And you will note that the smudge is labeled #1.
I’m adding three or four chapters to the existing material. And that puts me into my “Warning: Word Count!” index cards, so there’d better not be too many more.
Then, eventually, I’ll do NaNoWriMo, so that I have a shiny new first draft to work on while I’m querying.
