Now I have to go back and hunt it down in all its fluffy glory. Along with the "new baby" subplot, which is similarly useless. <br /><br />Great analogy--need any help on your search and destroy mission? :D You know I'd do just about anything to get an early peek at Everneath! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09413777557796110450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-90114459046133352772010-12-20T15:35:56.771-08:002010-12-20T15:35:56.771-08:00Yikes!

Whe...I kind of know what you're going through. When I wrote documentation for my company, I used to write things at the beginning of the manuals and then realize that I totally changed how I wrote them in the end of the manual. I hate when there's continuity issues, so I'd have to fix it. But then, I realize I did it again. Keep everything straight is hard. I can only imagine what that would be like when you're creating a whole new world and your playing god to your characters and how you can totally kill or birth (?) their existence depending on how you write ONE sentence.

Not at your frustration, but the notes to your editor.<br /><br />You'll figure out a way to keep only the most essential bunnies-- and the finished product will be fabulous and none of us will be any the wiser to whatever went wrong!<br /><br />If it makes you feel better, I wrote an 88,000 word manuscript and feedback has dictated that I need to change one of the character's names. Sounds so small, but it feels like a childhood friend getting a gender re-assignment after all the time I've spent knowing her with name "A"!!Gina Cioccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024256412233972412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-52446904751310976882010-12-20T13:43:21.287-08:002010-12-20T13:43:21.287-08:00Jenilyn- I just took a break so I could cower in t...Jenilyn- I just took a break so I could cower in the corner.<br /><br />Valynne- Collaborating with a writing partner is like spawning illegitimate bunnies.

And I got stuck in a corner. I just went back and changed it so the firs time that I'd added it into the story became the first time with the experience of it being a first time. I think it came out well, but it was such a hard moment! So good luck, Brodi!!Chersti Nieveenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01336409974765732851noreply@blogger.com
