I'd like to report that I have caught up to where I was before, and am well on my way to reaching my goal of finishing my novel by the 16th with the new plot. I had to head to my parents house and commadeer their computer to do it, and pissed of several of my brothers for hogging, but I did it.
The sad thing is I did it in less words than the first rewrite version. Sigh.
But I don't think I have ever written that many words in one sitting. It was exilarating, and a little exhausting at the same time.
I have changed the format of dividing up the novel from two parts and a 16 chapters, to four parts, called days, and much shorter chapters, so more of them. I haven't laid out what all the chapters are, so I don't know how many I will have. It might turn out that I have a lot, like all of James Patterson's books.
I'm relieved that I was able to catch up and even get past where I was before, but I only finished Day One. So I have three more 'days' left, and the third 'day' is REALLY long, because thats when most of the action takes place.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that I have made my characters much better, and solved the info dump problem I had, and I really like several characters that were originally background characters.
I will keep writing, and posting updates, but it's really late so I need to head off to bed.
Until Next Time!
