Things have slowed down a touch, been throwing ideas around the past week or so, along with going through and making several revisions, most of which were minor though there were some moderately substantial additions.
But, it's shaping up pretty well, on Chapter 3 now, and am presently on page 30.
Fun fact, thus far I have scraped about 15 pages worth of material. And that just whole pages that I highlighted and deleted. This isn't counting the paragraphs lost by way of revision. That would probably add another page or two.
So far though, things seem to be smoothing out, the revision are becoming a bit less frequent and drastic. By and by, it seems to be smoothing out a good deal. Only thing I'm a bit back and forth on is pacing. I want to get into the heart of the story, but I don't want to undersell the introduction ( for lack of a better way to put it.) Other things I'm a little iffy about, but not too badly. I'm trying to get a sort of focus-group organized for the end of the month, hopefully that will help to get a better idea of how other people take to the material I have so far. I'm hoping to get it up to 50 pages by then. Figure the 10% mark would be a good time to step back and say "is it worth continuing with, or should I start over?"
