Have you tried starting the second draft at the end and working backwards? Just a thought but it's a case of "Do as I say not as I do"! Thanks very much for your compliment. The poem is one of my favourites and is based on personal experience which may be one of the reasons why I think it works.

Self-imposed ones tend to get overridden by those imposed by others. So, although I technically finished my NaNo novel at the end of last November, the second draft is languishing somewhere in the doldrums. I can't seem to get beyond Chapter 5. So I am entirely the wrong person to offer any advice on this.<br /><br />I do like your poem, though.Vanessahttp://vanessacouchmanwriter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
