Just a short update on the novel today. I'm making progress on the rewrite, getting the story tightened up nicely. The only problem is I'm beginning to feel like the first chapter isn't working!
Argh! What's a poor writer to do? Get her butt-in-chair-fingers-on-keyboard. That's what.
It's a good thing I love to write, or I would be majorly depressed right now. I'm trying to make this book as good as I possibly can, and I find myself second-guessing every plot point, every word choice.
Well, we all know that can't go on, so I'm just going to finish the rest of the book, and then look at that first chapter. What I think is wrong is that I'm still trying to have too much going on (the dreaded info-dump) that's not directly plot-related, so all I guess I really need is to cut out some stuff.
Easy-peasy.
So, yeah.
Later,
Anne
