Hmmm, I know I put that unresolved plot point in here somewhere…., originally uploaded by Jaquandor.
Wouldn’t you know it. I have to go back and do some revision work on Princesses In SPACE!!! (not the actual title).
Why? Well, I just figured out that I need to make some changes to a pretty major plot point, in a way that will strengthen quite a bit of the character motivations and add some clarity to certain characters’ actions. Unfortunately, this isn’t the type of change where I can just posit it in my head and write from this point on, assuming that the changes are in place, and then fix it all at editing time. I’m going to have to backtrack and do some heavy lifting.
I don’t think this will be quite like the last major revision I realized was necessary, where I had to scrap four completed chapters. But it’ll still be a bit difficult. Ugh! It’s a good thing I like these princesses, else I’d tell them to bugger off and write about that boy who quests for the stranger who coerced his father to commit an awful crime…but that’s the next book….
