Better

As mentioned in my previous post, I came up with a better idea for the book I’m working on, the sequel to First. The past couple of days I wrote the first chapter. Or more accurately, rewrote it. I can already tell it’s going to be better, a more compelling story than what I’d previously written. I typed a few notes into my brainstorming document and then started writing. It didn’t take long for the story to branch in a different direction than the notes I’d just written, but that’s okay. The change created more chaos as well as urgency in the storyline. That’s a good thing. What I’d previously written seemed too routine, like the characters spun their wheels too much. That’s why I knew it would require a lot of editing, but this new course is hopefully going to solve those problems.
