More Work

I’ve discovered that Assignment Day is going to take a bit more work than I’d planned. I thought I could go through the book once as a refresher and then one more time to tighten up scenes. Instead, I think I’m going to have to do more than that. One of the notes I made myself yesterday was to have more dialogue and character interaction than narration. As they say in Creative Writing 101, show, don’t tell. I’ve found several places where I can change the setting and add a character or two to have a discussion rather than a bunch of exposition. Mind you, it’s not that way everywhere in the book, but I’ve already identified scenes that need to be reworked. It’ll be worth it, though, since I want to put out the best book possible. I only get one crack at debuting Assignment Day to the world, and I prefer to take the time to make it better.
