Novel Progress: Initial Adaptation Complete

Last night I completed the initial adaptation of my novel "UC", taking it from screenplay to something resembling a novel. Only took a few months, and that was the easy part. Now I have to go back over the entire thing and craft something that resembles a first draft. Actually more like a second draft, technically. Time to take some of the clunky movie dialogue and pad it out a little, make it a little more human... all without losing the fast-paced nature of the story. This part is going to be even more difficult than getting the initial adaptation on paper.

Oh well. Another three or four months and let's see what I can turn out.
