dunmurderinProbably not going to post an update every time I work on the Common Cause rewrite, but I figured I'd make a quick post about how the first day went: so far, so good! I got off to a bit of a slow start but I'm most of the way through the first chapter now and am hoping to get Chapter One done tomorrow.
ETA: 7/2/19 @ 2312: I was originally thinking this would be more or less a simple case of retyping the story and making a few corrections here and there, expanding some things, etc. Today showed me that that is not the case.
When I first decided to re-tackle Common Cause, I went through it and took notes about stuff I wanted to change, places where I thought I'd need to add stuff, ideas I wanted to rework or to tighten up. I learned today that I missed a few ideas that I didn't realize at the time were important. And that was just in typing up the first two scenes and part of the third. Going to be really interesting to see where this trip ends up.
The draft of Common Cause I'm working from clocked in at 17,171 words. Today, I wrote 2,048 words, which means Common Cause is 11.93% finished!
