katstalesOkay, so I've not been updating again. Bad kat, no biscuit!!
I've had a very difficult time over the last week or so finding the enthusiasm to work on the zine fic. Last Friday, I finally figured out why. As I was going along, I suddenly realized that one of the main supporting OCs was just totally not working.
Well crap.
So I went in to look back over what I'd written and realized that large parts of her dialog and many of her reactions to certain events were not at all what they should be for a young child. Furthermore, I discovered that I had reached a point in the story where it became very apparent that a young child really didn't work in the story. At all.
Double crap!
So I've spent the weekend totally rewriting the twenty-six pages I'd managed up to that point and am now back on track--I hope! Now if I can only finish the rest within the next two days and meet my deadline...
::sigh::
So here are the new numbers. I'm just giving a total word count, because there is absolutely no way to go back and tell what was cut and what was added.
Title: Cutting the Gordian Knot
Word Count: 8345 total words so far
Progress: Rewrote all but the opening scene.
And I'm still *sooo* tempted to sign up for the Ronon ficathon...
