I will rewrite a full draft of a novel-in-progress, bringing awareness of addiction and recovery to a larger audience. The outcome's success will be evaluated by: 1) working with a mentor to significantly rewrite the novel; 2) teaching three creative writing workshops for people in recovery; and 3) giving a public reading focusing on the nature of addiction. 2: I will work with a mentor to develop my technical skill with third person point of view, novel structure, and pacing. This outcome's success will be evaluated by: 1) meeting five times with a mentor who will actively guide me through the rewriting process; and 2) successfully completing a significant rewrite of the manuscript.
I rewrote an entire full draft of my novel-in-progress. 1) I worked with my mentor to significantly rewrite the novel. 2) I taught three creative writing workshops. 3) I held a public reading, at which the workshop participants and I read from work in progress. 2: I worked with a mentor to develop technical skill with third person point of view, novel structure, pacing, and plotting. I met with my mentor five times total (plus ongoing phone and email contact) as I rewrote the novel. I successfully completed a significant rewrite of the novel.
