I finished breaking my first draft of Harken the Change into segments - ended up with 77 segments totalling 164 pages. Now I can take each segment and edit out all the unnecessary adverbs and such and ensure I'm using action and active voice - show not tell! Some of the stuff I saw as I was retyping this into segments made me flinch and squirm in my chair!
Also, I'm signed up for FebNaNo 2009 - I'm aiming for 28K words on a crime/mystery/police novel I've been chewing on since '05 - I found the related files yesterday. Wow, four years I've been working on that one! Working title is Watery Death.
