Today’s editing is going hard. See, I decided a secondary character needed to be deleted. Completely. She was cluttering up my story, or maybe confusing it would be a better term. Buuuut…there was almost an entire chapter sort of based off her, and despite needing to be rid of her, I really needed the events of that chapter. Guh. So I’m trying to straighten out that mess.
My point of view was kind of awkward as well. My MC was prone to long, inward rants. I think part of that was me trying to get inside her head enough for the reader to hear her thoughts without actually writing in first person. So I’m deleting most of the soliloquies and trying for a very close, limited third person POV. We’ll see how that goes.
Now I’m getting a bit impatient with all the editing and wanting to get back to writing the rest of the story. However, I don’t go back to work until tomorrow afternoon, so I’m hoping I can have these six chapters 95% edited by then and can give myself permission to get on with it.
