Add, Rewrite & Repeat

One thing about writing something that you hope** to be a cohesive work is that you have to continually go back to the beginning.

Now that I've fleshed out some characters who were previously rather flat, and eliminated another altogether, I need to go back to the beginning of my story and start adding and rewriting scenes.

Unfortunately, I didn't just start writing this book knowing everything about my little world. Any author who tells you they did, well, they're definitely bragging and possibly lying. As I've progressed, I've altered some facts and added new ones, changed motivations, tweaked personalities, and so on. So this will be just one of MANY cycles in the editing process.

But the beautiful thing about Felicity and Joey? I get to write some more awesome scenes for them instead of just referring to them every now and then. 😊

I'm actually kind of excited about where this could head. It might change the line of the entire book, or maybe it'll just change a couple of scenes... But let's not get ahead of ourselves...

And hey - who knows? Maybe it means another potential couple. 😉

Stay tuned! I'm hoping to post another excerpt!! (Comment on the type of scene you'd like to see (and I may just oblige)! (steamy, funny, certain interactions, the 'knocking out' of a specific # on the list, etc.))
