This evening I glanced over two chapters that needed work and as I wondered how I was going to clarify things and all that, I realized I just didn’t need them. And like that–ZAP–they were gone! Wahoo! Ten pages of rewrites done. Ha-ha.
(Okay, it wasn’t really zap because I didn’t delete it. Since I’m really rewriting every bit in a new file, it was more like la-di-da move these pages to this pile and ignore them–but zap sounds much more dramatic. Trying to add some zing to the rewrite process–yawn.)
Now I’ve got to decide on a major plot change. Lydia suggested it and I’ve been mulling it over and…I foresee more zapping.

OOoooooo…..good luck! Major plot change? Sounds scary.
I like zap. Good word, good work. A major plot change sounds like a zag. Exciting!
I’m avoiding my writing lately and buying new shoes instead. Please keep posting about your progress as it shoo’s me back to work. (get it, shoes?) I
so very nice to meet you! Paper fight looked like it was a blast…
Zap! I love it!
Sounds like you’re a superhero, or that you have a magic wand…
it sounds quite freeing.
now you’ve got me terribly curious about the major plot line changing.
i’ll be here waiting.
I find myself wondering if you should get a second opinion before you scrap anything. On the other hand, if it energizes you, then go for it. Can’t wait to hear how it all comes out.
Thanks everyone for noticing…
SBW, enjoy the shoes!
Mary Ann, I’ve thought about a second opinion, but I can’t decide who to ask. Besides, I do agree with many of Lydia’s comments and think the plot change idea has merit.
