HOORAY!

I finished my first read through tonight! I have a pile of notes and several ideas in my head, all ready to be assimilated into a second draft. I have a lot of questions still, knowing where the problems are is only the first step to fixing them, after all. Some of my issues have me a little stumped. Overall, I think there's a lot of good stuff in this novel, but there's also a lot of crap, and a lot of weakness. Still, not bad for a first draft of a first novel, written entirely off the cuff.

I'm wondering how to start the second draft. I'm debating trying to construct an outline that incorporates the new subplot ideas, then start the rewrite from there. That sounds kinda daunting right now though. Feh.
