Today I worked with my paper copy of Magellan's Witch. I had to do a lot of fixing of chapter 3 and 4. They were messy. I simplified things and that helped a lot. Then I reprinted chapts 1-4 and started over with the read-through. Things were improved. Some of the chapters after that are darn good. No fixing needed. But there's an issue I need to resolve which is that things happen too fast. I need to find a reason for my heroine to fully trust my hero and right now, it's just not there to my satisfaction. I see a couple of ways to solve it. Right now I'm mulling over the possibility that I'm missing a sub-plot. Oh. Brain Flash. Wow. And right here in the blog, too. I need to go notebook that. Must go.
