Chapter 1

I finally finished Chapter 1 rewrite. The ending of the chapter ended up being new material, because of the order change that I made. I think that this format works much better than the one I had before. This way the characters are introduced a little better and I can give the reader a better idea of what's going on. In the previous version the motives and general plot was much more ambiguous. A friend of mine pointed that out to me last summer, so I think this time I finally finished it. I'm on to Chapter 2 now, which was the original Chapter 1. Chapter 3 will be in the same place it always was. I am giving myself until the 30th of January to complete the first five chapters.

Here is the picture of my wall that I was talking about earlier:




Light blue is the main plot points, dark blue is the final segment of the story, purple is any extra notes I have on the plot points, the flags mark possible chapter divisions and the lined dark blue is a timeline. I like to colour code stuff.
