Rewrote the police scene, and it’s taking the story different places.

That’s the thing with changes like this. If you don’t re-write as you go, you take the story down one path, but the re-write takes it somewhere else. The more you keep writing on the original, the more re-writing you do at the end.

Sometimes, when you get to the end on the original plotline you can’t be bothered doing the rewrite. It’s gone too far.

I’m not sure how much of draft two we’ll have left when we finish draft three. I forsee large chunks being omitted.

This draft is already a much better story.
