I made it through the section I had to alter and put back into the story. I am now on page 154 of 311. Just about half way through (depending on how much rewriting happens in the next section).
I have another section that probably wont need too much rewriting before I get to the messy bit that I know isn’t settled just yet, especially with the plot lines and POVs I cut. Hopefully I can get this pass done by June or July and get another pass in before my August goal of getting either some alpha readers or a developmental editor.
Here’s a snippet:
“Okay,” he took the wooden sword from each of them. “Now run.”
Pushing past the initial distaste at the idea, Aaron ran with Halvar close behind him.
As much sense as it makes to have me train with you, I would like to remind Cyrus that I am not actually the Dueling.
Aaron laughed. Oh, poor you.
I should have stayed in better shape.
Round is a shape.
Halvar surged forward and shoved him. “I am not round.”
Aaron laughed harder, grateful to be lost in the moment, joking around with his best friend. It made the strangeness of everything fade.
Thanks for reading!
