beccaelizabethJust re-read the writing I did the other day, including the little speech I did for Ethan. I still like it, but I realise I pretty much made my point in the first two lines. So now I'm wondering, do I trim it down, or is the actual point that Ethan's making his point a whole lot on account of all the points stick in when they're heard?
Going to have to change the last couple of lines. They sounded cool when I first wrote them, but they aren't right today.
I keep doing this, sitting down to write and instead revising the stuff I've done so far. And that means every time I sit down it takes longer to start writing, on account of all the thousands adding up. Is not very clever.
I still haven't got to the action part of the plot. I could, from a things happening perspective, have skipped this entire section and said "Giles made plans and talked to Ethan on the plane. Then it landed." Only, that wouldn't be telling the story. Because the action stuff is not the story.
