Originally published at Echoes of Madness. You can comment here or there. The other day, I finally sent Part 1 to a number of brave volunteers to beta read. It only happened about 3 months later than I'd hoped... Bah. I'm still getting a handle on estimating the time required pump out revisions. This first part consisted of the prologue and the first fifteen chapters, four of which I rewrote from scratch as part of he revision process.

I feel better for knowing I'm not the only one who takes longer than expected to do revisions :)

Well, it's easy to write in the margins of a hard copy things like "smooth out description" or "add X scene" or work "Y point/foreshadow into dialog." Thean hard part is trying to work those changes in so they don't feel like insertions.
Found a bunch of notes like the above yesterday. Who was that jerk who dumped red all over my manuscript?? Oh, yeah. Me.
How long do you take for revisions, Jon?

So far, ten months :(
I hope to have it finished in the next couple of weeks.
On the plus side, a lot of the revisions are due to me trying to apply some of the new things I've learned in the last year or so, so I guess it means I'm improving - at least, I hope it does :)
