Hi Ray, Have you ever come across a scene on revision that you were so unhappy with you just completely rewrote it?
This happened to me while I was writing yesterday. I re-read the scene that introduces my antagonist and decided it just wasn't working. So now I'm sitting here making a bullet-point list of everything I need to accomplish in the scene and I'm going to have another go at it. The original scene was a whole lot of sitting and thinking. I wanted the reader to get into the head of my "bad guy" to see how he justified his own perspective on things, but I think I overdid it. I'm going to try it again by moving some of my other characters into the scene and adding a bit of conflict. I'll still internalize him a bit, but it may be less "boring" if there's some actual action taking place. Nat -- Sent from my Crappy Laptop (tm) using a poor excuse for a web browser.
