Chapter 12 of Calyn’s story only needed a few tweaks here and there to reflect the new opening and the addition of new characters. I spent the morning reviewing and smoothing Chapters 11 and 12. I often do this a the beginning of a new writing week to remind myself of exactly what’s been going on with my characters. I find that this helps me with continuity. This process also helped me figure out some of the things that I’m going to have to add to the beginning of Chapter 13 to reflect Calyn’s new concerns.
Once again, this revision makes me think of the branching of parallel universes. What happens to the story when the character turns left instead of right? That’s what I’m finding out.
