I just went through the latest synopsis and broke it down by scenes, and by projected (ok, sort of projected) dates of completion. If I can meet the deadlines (approximately), I should be able to finish the rewrite by Thanksgiving. And here I was thinking I'd be done by the Fourth of July. Fat fucking chance.
So I finish the rewrite, I revise, I submit to readers like yourselves and some other willing and not-so-willing victims, I continue to revise, and then by Easter of next year I start querying agents.
That's fair, right? I think a year is reasonable and realistic, especially if the rewrite is the primary goal to get done before the end of November. Which will take a lot of pressure off over Christmas. Please feel free to tell me I'm out of my mind if you think so, even though I quite possibly may tell you I think you're full of shit. *wink, grin*
As for this week, I'll be writing the third scene. Goal is to be done with it by Friday.
Thank you for both understanding how important this is to me. I really super appreciate it. I'm going to haul my ass to bed now and thank God that I didn't drink coffee tonight, because it's wrecking the hell out of my nerves. (Don't I sound like my mother? Terrifying.)

And now I've started reading a novel that another friend has written and almost finished, and despite the petty stylistic quibbles I have, it's so good I feel like the most reasonable course of action is just to burn Sanctuary and be done with it.
