I have a ton of work just getting it vaguely ordered, with all the poems I want. I'll be spending all semester working on it. I'm trying to allocate 10-16 hours a week on it: no less, but not much more as I do have other classes.
Fortunately my draft still excites me whenever I look at it, because I've written exactly what I enjoy reading, so it's a mood lifter every time. I know THIS will be worth working through (Not just "It had better be, I spent so much time and research on it!" although that part is true too.).
I've been given a couple of books to help guide me on my journey into getting those characters and scenes together into a real story-- then editing it.
After all the study and fuss and feedback of those past few years, it will all come back to the same old thing I started my writing life with once again-- quiet nights trying to make a new, better world happen in my head. That part, I really like. Anybody who considers themselves a writer must enjoy the often painful process of writing and revising, not just having written.
As I try to restructure it, the best lessons I've learned about writing from various sources will bob up in my head from time to time.
