So I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, I spent a good portion of last weekend discussing the entire plot of this story with a trusted friend and writing mentor of mine. Turns out there are a lot of cool changes that need to happen, especially in the beginning, to help the rest of the story make sense! I've been writing a new outline this week, which means there is now more backstory, new chapters that need to be written, some chapters need to be rewritten or go completely, and that a certain character may not die after all...
But the bad news is that I need to rewrite a bunch of stuff and add new chapters in. I knew it was a risk to put chapters out on Wattpad, because sometimes when you write, things need to change mid-writing (JK Rowling had to rewrite the entire first draft of Harry Potter because she realized she gave her whole plot away in the first book). BUT if it wasn't for you guys reading it, I wouldn't have gotten this far or have had these questions come up about the plot.
I'm debating on whether I should start from scratch or not once things are ready. Would love to hear your guys' opinion (except for the opinion that I should not rewrite, because honestly, it'll be a better story if I do, and that's what matters to me). I can leave this version up as a first draft and then add the new story later. Dunno. Let me know what you think if you care to be heard.
Thanks for following along so far! I am afraid to make any promises of when new chapters will be out, but I WANT to say October. Sorry that I'm a bit of a slow goer...
You guys have been awesome to me, so I appreciate all of your support. I hope that the disappointment will be worth it in the end. I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on this story.
Sincerely,
Paige
