Novel on Scrivener

Thanks to the help of my friend Rusty, my book is now typed up. I copied what she typed into the Scrivener program, which can export to the PDF format to sell it on Amazon. At this point, it’s 252 pages, 15 chapters long.

I have plenty of notes and comments from friends of changes I need to make. Rewriting is exciting to me. This is when the novel goes from being good to great—if I can do that. As I told a friend recently, writing a novel can be like making a sculpture: I’ve molded some clay into a shape that resembles a woman. But it’s the fine details that I do now that can make the sculpture look like a beautiful woman.
