Today has been one of those rare days when I've made the most progress on this particular WIP.
HOWEVER
I have made plenty of changes.
Firstly I have been having fun shuffling scenes around. Which means I've edited the first race. While it is longer, it also brings my characters to life more effectively.
Some things are happening earlier. Now there are more deaths. The death of one important older gentleman; the two original deaths of the girls that push Elliot into the Sectionals, and the deaths of the two racers, who by all accounts would surely have won the Sectionals if their ship hadn't suffered a drastic mechanical failure in the first race of the Sectionals.
All plot related deaths, all within the first few chapters. I might space out the events in the second draft.
A new point of view has been added, ala Agent Cameron Gage. He ties things in together nicely, with his point of view helping along the investigation.
Introduction to one of my Big Bad's happens later. Elliot has seen him, but hasn't spoken to him. Nor has he made a proposition to her ... as of yet. And she's not going to put two and two together and make five quite as easily as she did the first time around. Let's just deepen the mystery first. So back at 12k, we're well ahead but ... ! It is starting to make some kind of sense.
So without further ado, I'm starting to run out of old materials that I can safely transfer. But I am becoming clearer on who the real villain is ... though its several someones. Not just a someone. Hehe. I love writing.
And that is the update for now,
Cheers!
