The rewrite of SS4 continues unabated. It’s proving to be quite a tough one, this.
Without giving too much away, I need my main characters to be in one location and collect an item from another. In the original draft, they went to collect the item first, but that delayed their arrival at the main scene. I tried to fix this by having them do to the scene first, then nipping off to collect the necessary object. Once again, it just dragged things out.
So, I had them split up. No problem there, you might think, but I try to avoid doing it as I’m writing this series with a single viewpoint to keep the action coming, and have the readers discover things at the same time as my characters.
It all seems to be working now, but I’ll keep you briefed!
