Ok have finished off the second act and literally just banged the story out on to the page. Now it's printed out ready for me to shift it all around, pull together and make it work. Much more stealth is needed, and so now I need to work backwards through the narrative. For instance, there's a 'honey-trap' journalist and right now it feels obvious so I'll have to go back and feed her in but this time as potential 'love interest'. There's also a poisoned dog - who prior to being poisoned - hadn't even made an appearance ..
Hmmm
will you do all that before you start the third act FA?
ReplyDeleteyes Pot I will
ReplyDeletethat's interesting. 'they' usually say don't rewrite before you finish but somehow it makes sense to. hmm.
