Shift Back

I’ve decided I don’t like the chapter I added to Assignment Day last week. It creates too many problems, including the fact that it undermines one of the main premises of the story and I can’t resolve that issue to make it work. The addition seemed like a good idea, or at least worth trying. That’s the great thing about writing. I can do like I did and write the scene and see if it fits. It costs nothing but a little bit of time, unlike adding a scene to a movie or TV show where I’d have to pay lots of people to create the set and prep it for a few minutes of filming. In this case, I might keep some of the chapter but rework it a little, using it to create more questions than answers I don’t like. It does address a plot thread that was dangling, but I think I can do it in a different way. We’ll see how this goes.
