I have about a third of True or False? left to write, then some time - hopefully not much more than a month - for editing. In terms of editing, there are some details I need to go back and add, some stuff that need cutting out, and the typical grammar and spelling errors. I also need to go back and add some chapters in Goher's point of view (in the unnecessarily large screenshot, he's the one on the left - and the guitarist of the band. He's also on the left in the smaller screenshot.) for one of the subplots of the novel that I later decided needed to be expanded on. There's also a chapter that requires some historical research done, so that will take a couple of days - I'm grateful for the Internet - and one chapter in Farhan's point of view that I got so stuck on that I had to skip it and go on to the next chapter. Let me point out that it is not easy to write a novel where your characters are real people - I might have to end up following Farhan around for a day before I can get that chapter right, or I might just need to watch a couple of interviews, depending on how it gets. In terms of stuff I need to cut out, there are some parts that are just...well, silly. But I like to make people laugh, so there are going to be parts that are a bit silly, but I want to cut anything out that just seems downright ridiculous. Usually anything like that was written after midnight. For some reason I always write a lot after midnight, but that's also when my brain tends to stop working properly, so what I write might not always make sense. Once I'm done with the manuscript and all the editing, I'll do what I can to see about copyright issues. Maybe the Law of Attraction can help me somehow pull the band to my front door with my mind...
