Made notes on the second act of Wet Work last week, filling in more of the roadmap for the rewrite. The going will be a little trickier than in the first act, but nothing I can’t handle (he said hubristically). I’m beginning to feel like I can actually do this. I might even be able to start the rewrite proper this week. Clutch the pearls.
Made a fun little discovery along the way. I was wrangling with a plot problem ably pointed out by one of my beta readers (thanks, David!), and I found the solution in the last place I would think to look–right in front of me. It just fit perfectly. It’s one of those little things that others might assume I had planned all along, but which was in reality a happy accident.
Or was it? (Cue eerie music . . . )
Such are the mysteries of the muse. Comes with the territory.
