Chapter 3 (confusion)

The thing about Chapter 3 is that I keep rewriting what information H learns in this chapter and how/when she learns them. And that affects how she acts and interacts with K, their ensuing conversations, and so on. And the worst thing is, I've rewritten it so many times that I have trouble keeping straight what she knows at what point. I keep having to go back and reread to get into her head again, and that just stalls me terribly. Keeping notes might be a good idea.

Chapter 3 (still)

Uwaaa, I hardly wrote anything for a whole month. What was I doing?

Anyhow, I got fed up with being completely unproductive yesterday, so I went to sleep at 6:30 pm and woke up at 12:30 am. I snacked a little and read manga (Lovely Complex - rather amusing), played a little 9x9 go, and then got to work on Chapter 3. I cut the first scene short. I think before, I was too caught up in the flow of information through dialogue because my characters are completely not on the same page, figuratively. I was trying to stuff information bits A, B, C, D, and E into scene 1, and then more into each successive scene, but then it was dragging so much that it was just a pain to read. And with so much information being exchanged, the characters themselves were going nowhere. Plus getting the character interaction just right is hard enough as it is, particularly since I still don't have a good grasp of K, and I had to go back and reread Chapter 2 to remember what H was like. Having to be careful about what information is being tossed around in addition to that was just a nightmare. So the scene is now cut short, and the characters get more alone time. Yay. The information will come out more slowly, I suppose.
