19/11/2020 - Short Attention Span 2: Wait, I Forgot What I Was Saying

I have a short attention span. That being said, the writing course I was on has left me for the last few sessions in the ‘tweaking single words’ stage. Sometimes whole phrases, but basically very small stuff. They’re good tweaks, they’re worthwhile tweaks… but I’m not sure they’re important tweaks. The tutors did a checklist for the class for dialogue and description, which I’ve read and re-read a few times.

I think I might have got involved with this course too late down my novel’s track. It might be too polished to properly take advantage of it. That being said, I’ve thought exactly that thing before, about a novel which was such a disaster I’m pretending it never existed, so it’s hard to fully commit to the opinion. Still, I’ve submitted the novel to my mentor to check over to see if it’s ready for submission. Now the waiting game begins.
