Grunt work
Well I started sorting my notes into sections and chapters yesterday and it left me with a migraine. What a horrible task. But it has to be done and I'll be spending the next couple of days doing it.
Unfortunately in the short term it is going to get worse as I continue to type up my hand written notes.
The real down side to this task is knowing that most of the work is going to be tossed or reworked in some way. But that's ok. It's all part of the job.
The up side is that by the end of it, I will have the beginnings of the content I need for my action/reaction sheets. And once I finish plotting out version 0.1 of the novel, it will be a lot easier to track where the content goes.

Hi Mary,
I saw your post on Mike's Writing Workshop. I'm working on my first novel and am interested in reading your thoughts as you work through your process. Good to know that we're not alone on this sometimes lonely journey, eh?
Cindy M.
I would be wonderful to share my journey with you. What's your novel about?
