An Issue of Time

Mainly that my timeline is suffering in later chapters. Some of the events in the previous chapters will need to be revised to better fit into the day-to-day action as I imagined it. Sloppy on my part I know, but then everything I’m trying to do here is new to me, especially the number of viewpoints I’m trying to juggle at once.

Anyway, I’m spending some time getting them all lined up on paper this time so the relationships are clear and properly organized. Then when it comes time to revise the early chapters I’ll rearrange scenes as necessary to fit the revised and correct timeline.

Not what I wanted to be doing at this stage in the book, but good I’ve identified the problem now and fix it for the remainder of the book.
Writing is also coming along fine. Am about 4100 words into chapter 8 so far and thinking on chapter 9 as well where everything comes together. Wish me luck.
