Catwalks and FRANCE

I seem to have a strange liking for catwalks. They're everywhere...taking over my soul.

Oh and I'm done Chapter 14, catwalks and all. Again, I'll need to fix the ending, but I like the strange way it has turned out. The plot is similar in events to version 1, but the rest comes down to location, location, location. I think I managed to write 15 pages on this one, which was WAY longer than I anticipated. I may have some clean-up to do later, but I'm on a roll for now. Also, I still need to fix Chapter 12.

Word Count: 92,631
Page Count: 162

Also, I just realized that the next page in my document starts with MEANWHILE, IN FRANCE. I'd be tempted to keep it for the sake of randomness, but I have no idea how it would fit into the chapter.

Old Memories

I can't believe what I used to write. I'm almost embarassed to read it now, but it's quite entertaining. Chapters 14, 15 and 16 are going to have a lot of elements version one had, but man am I glad I'm revamping it. It's bad. So bad. I've come a long way in six years. My writing isn't great yet, but it has improved so much. I say that time and time again, but what I used to write was so...innocent. The characters had personality, but they were all so cheerful and one-dimensional all the time. Hardly any seriousness to it. I'd like to think I kept some of that silliness in my current writing, but I have to admit that I don't lament leaving most of it behind. The story has also developed a great deal since then.

I know, that despite these improvements, I'm still extremely naive in my writing. A lot of instances follow the logic that makes sense to me, but not necessarily everyone else. What I'll need in the near future is a really good editor to tell me when I'm completely out of my mind. This will be often, but I think I can handle it. There's no way I'd give up on something I've poured over six years into.
