lagilmanInternet continues to be unreliable, making for late posts. And we shall not speak of Cablevision's decision to cancel my service call without checking to see if I still needed it.... Cranky writer is cranky, as there's stuff I need to research/sites I need to check.
Day Eight:
The end of useful beta-reader notes –and I’m the only one to notice the season shifted from early spring to early summer over the period of a month? Tsk. Chapter 3 is now in stronger shape, with motivations and justifications pulled to the fore. I’m still struggling with one on-going thread, but suspect that may be a matter of “get to the end and look back over the whole” before I can see the solution.
Watching to see what patterns emerge to each section, and deciding it I want to intentionally maintain those patterns, or shake them up as the book goes along. Structure’s weirdly (and yet, perhaps inevitably) really important here.
Day Nine:
Chapter 4. Oh, chapter 4. Shall we just burn you to the ground and start again? Yes, I think we will. 3500 words, burnt down and rebuilt so far...
24,500 words rewritten/revised/written.
