Soon I'm going to start hyperventilating about plotting methods...I'll ask folks how they do it and road-test one method. AWWW, thanks for all the well-wishes!

No matter how you do it, it's great to have it done. I do something similar to Holly's method, but after my first one-pass revision, I send it to my CPs. So of course I have more revisions once I get their critiques back. Congrats, Kathleen! No matter how you do it, it’s great to have it done.

What you've described is how I anticipate a good version of the One-Pass Revision will go for me. I anticipate it will truly be a One-Pass (well, really two as you noted) when I get more experience.

Congratulations! I can only imagine how it feels to be at that stage and I look forward to living vicariously through you! That is sooooo awesome! Congratulations!

I'm doing Holly's one-pass for the first time myself. It's hard, but it's going better than my last, less organized attempt. I'm not nearly as fast as Holly either. Congrats on finishing up.

Man, there were some ugly--and I'm talking uuuuggleeee stages to this thing, and lots of waffling and sweating and doubting...all the things we do to ourselves. Which I think is good. I think we should question our choices because sometimes doing that leads to better things. But I'm really glad that's all over. Now I have another story to be anxious over! I'm going to check out NaNo too. I'm not ready for it this year, but it's something to keep in mind for next. Thanks you guys.

The hardest part of doing NaNo was that my outline was only partial, meaning I had to improvise quite a bit of the first draft. That's where things got ugly. I think with some preparation, that first draft may not be so bad. Or not as bad as mine was last year. ;) And hey, we can all do it together and egg each other on. Nothing like a little community support! A tip for anyone considering… spend October plotting/outlining, so that November can go smoothly.
