Cerulean Part One: Completion of Book One

So, I'm trying to start blogging as much as possible and what better a way than to chronicle my adventure while planning out my Camp NaNo June novel? The above banner is courtesy of the very same writing friend, Anah, and will serve as a cover photo banner for my facebook page. I plan on circling through promo banners when I get them. For example, the above banner will most likely be up on my page for a week before I switch to the next banner, which will be posted in a future Cerulean post.

I've posted many a blog post about Cerulean: where the skeleton came from, rant number one and rant number two (with official cover). As of May 9th, 2012 at 12:14 in the afternoon, I finally finished editing the original. On the left and right of this paragraph are my additions/edits/changes for the original novel/joint story as it transitions through to the Camp NaNo novel it will become. Technically, it was three pages but the majority of it was just either the same things repeated over again or info that was nullified by later notes.

Almost immediately after completing Book One, I moved on to Book Two. It's been a few years since I've touched it and I initially thought I finished splicing post (matching posts and conversations with others, breaking scenes, etc.). But now that I'm looking through the document, I only did that up to twenty pages. The editing phase for book two will definitely be intense. I'm going to get started right away... Let's hope that I don't get too burnt out from it.

Always,
Ali

 Edit: I accidentally posted a photo of one of the original notes (hence why it was so... 'wild'). It has been corrected.
