I'm happy to say I finished my third rewrite of my first novel. I'm pleased with how the story has taken shape. I just started to revise and gut the unimportant things in it. I'm glad I wrote them though because it helped me know my characters better. I hope to be done gutting it by next week and then will start to revise it. My new goal is to be done with revisions by the end of March. Then I'll get more advice from others again to make it even better.
Finished my third rewrite

I'm so happy for you. I did a rewrite recently, and while I'm going to end up combining it with the original for the next draft, it helped me get into the world and the characters' heads. I'm rewriting a different novel soon.
Congratulations on all the work you've done, and good luck with what comes next!

Awesome work!
After I wrote my first novel, I read it, laughed at myself, and trashed it. I didn't even try, so I'm always amazed (and slightly jealous) when people work like this right off the bat.
Good luck with everything that comes after! ^_^

Congrats on 3rd rewrite!

I laughed at my self too for my first draft and the second draft. I went through the first half of my book for revisions and got to the chapters of her traveling and laughed again. So... I have to fix those which is hard because there's no dialogue. The good thing though is that I finally came up with the title: Barkeater. Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement! Good luck on your own rewrites and revisions!
