Scenes completed
13 August 2019 04:03 amWell, I've finally written up the new 'combined version' of the last chapter of "Familiar" to incorporate the sledge scene rewritten according to the advice I was given to make it a better 'action scene'. Bits of it were better (that final sentence was never very good), but I'm not convinced that it's an improvement in the way that was intended. It's still slow and wordy, because that's my style, but slightly less so.
Meanwhile, having written out the last thousand-odd words for a second time and pasted the continuation sheets firmly down in the back of the notebook, I need actually to get down to typing it into a computer... Also, I need a chapter title.
In the Swedish story, my intended Philippe scene, having become a Raoul/Lancard angst scene, subsequently turned into a Raoul/Christine fluff scene. What it does not have in it is Philippe! So my chapter now consists of a couple of thousand words set in Paris which are not really long enough to be a chapter on their own, plus a second scene of as-yet-unknown length which will probably end up as a complete chapter in its own right. I really don't think I'm going to polish off the reunion between the brothers within the space of another two thousand words, particularly since it's from Christine's point of view and everything is new to her.
