  I am revising a young adult novel I wrote years ago. To make sure the reader is satisfied by the answers to these questions, above the heading Chapter One, I have written Who, What, When, Why, Where and How. I have faith in the novel which is worth my time and energy.

  July 10th. Detox Sunday. Only drinks. A thick slice of organic lemon frist thing in the morning & throughout the day. Fresh ruit or vegetable juices for breakfast, lunch, tea & supper with ginger tea. Canmomile tea at bedtime.

  As I write a historcal novel, usually, I only work on minor revisions and complete my daily target of a set number of words every day. However, on the 1st March I wrote a crucial point in the story then I decided it needed to be rewritted. Yesterday I wrestled with it trying to make sure the reader would understand the hero's motivation. Today, I rewrote it again and am satisfied with the result. However, I am three days behind with my target. To catch up I need time to write more words than usual for three days
