True to form, I’m averaging about a month to complete each week’s lesson in the How to Revise Your Novel course.  I started Week 3 this week, which requires me to summarize each scene in the novel in one Sentence For Revision.  This helps us see what’s missing from a scene.  I was looking forward to this lesson, but, like most of them, it’s slow starting and going for me.

We also have a reading assignment, and I got the book this week.  Reading is going fine, and I appreciate the discussion taking place on the classroom forums.  Since the purpose of the book is to demonstrate characterization (if I understand correctly), it helps me to read other people’s ideas on the subject as we read.
