Ever since I got back from AWP, I’ve been working on revising my memoir manuscript, Moonchild.
It’s been a real challenge.
But as challenges go, it was relatively okay for the first chapter. A lot of work, yes. Lots of stitching together, inserting, deleting, writing new material, actually getting clearer on memories of the time that I’d forgotten and writing those in, shifting focus, bringing in more background. It took a lot of time and energy but it was fairly pleasant.
Then I got to Chapter Two, and that was more like…well, a clusterfuck.
