I did it again, ya'll.
I changed my book. Right as I finished the first chapter, I thought to myself that I almost had it...that there was just one detail that wasn't quite right...
And I found that one detail after MUCH brain-picking this morning while getting ready for work (that is what hot showers are for). Fortunately, the characters are the same, and the storyline follows the same paranormal layout that I had (girl sees ghosts, etc). However, the setting has drastically changed, as has the tone. Unfortunately, because of the drastic change in setting, I have to sort of...start over. Clean slate.
But that is why I consider myself in the very beginning of the beginning of developing this book, because it will be revised and rewritten so many times. :X I am just as excited about it as I was with the first draft, because every revision I make just creates a better, tighter, story.
Once I finish the pitch, I'll post it. Until now, I've got another first chapter to write. =D
(On the bright side: I had no idea where I was going to go with the original first chapter, but this chapter is already laid out in my head, I just have to put it on the computer).
