Tapped Out Over The Course Of The Day...
Oct. 15th, 2008 02:58 pmI've reviewed the draft-so-far and had a couple of cluebats manifest, as I hoped they would. Ow.
The opening's weak and lacking the traditional 'teaser'. However, having just said that, scene six is squeaking at me that it might be happier as an opening scene - although it's not a 'teaser', really - not yet, at least. There's an insufficiency of things going *boom*.
Indeed, looking at the outline, there is an overall insufficiency of things going *kaboom*. Well, now's the time to notice, forsooth.
My tendency to over-refine the already-written bits before the project is finished is a bad one. I get all caught up in the editing when I should be bloody writing.
...and, then, over lunch, vast, painful issues with the second half of the outline made themselves manifest. At least I hadn't gotten anywhere near scripting 'em, yet.
I've got an idea on how to fix it and pick things up, story-wise, but fixing one issue has brought up three others. Whee!
