Chapter 3 is now outlined, and I’m ready to start drafting.
I have to admit to some pain and lack of confidence, as I have to get rid of stuff I like, but stuff that clearly will not work, to pull up things that are a great unknown in the interest of making the story viable in an original setting.
The best cure for this is rewriting and shaping, but it does undermine one’s confidence in the piece.
Well, sucking it up, then, we march forward.
