Positive progress!
I did what I said I was going to do and started from the beginning, going through and marking where it wasn’t right and fixing it. I’ve moved paragraphs about, I’m adding at least 2 new scenes (I’ve marked where they are going). Helen’s reaction has completely changed (less denial, more internal screaming).
And it’s helping it flow. I’m finding it easier to write now. I’m still nowhere near done with the fixing but already I feel better about it. Why didn’t I do this a couple of weeks ago? Honestly I actually said this about Our Darkest Hour, that I was re-reading the prior scene before beginning and tweaking things and that maybe I shouldn’t, but it helped get me into it – well if it helps then roll with it stupid!
Anyway, I’m now actually feeling a bit more like this story might happen. It won’t be done when I wanted but I’m slightly more hopeful that it will be done at some point. So yay! 🙂
