So, I started continuing the story from where I left off, and made some progress. Then I went back and decided to scan the story from the beginning to refresh my memory on the story and character development thus far. I was appalled at some of the simple writing errors, plot inconsistencies, and some point of view confusion I found in what I had thought was a fairly polished story.
I am quite familiar with the re-write gridlock that can happen if one continually revises a story before it is finished..but as this is not a completed story yet, and it has been some time since my last content post, I could not resist combing through what I had written so far to clean things up a bit.
I believe time away from the story has helped me take to my revising with fewer preconceptions, and I hope that the updated version I present will be easier to read and more entertaining than the original.
So, when I post (sometime soon, I assure you) a new section to the story, I am also going to repost the story as revised from the beginning, probably in a new thread to avoid any new reader confusion or overlap.
I hate to lose all the helpful comments garnered from previous postings, but unless someone has a cogent reason why it would be better to repost to the same thread, I am leaning away from it. ( I would edit the old posts to replace them if I could, but that seems beyond my purview.)
