After hearing comments from Monday night’s writing group, I decided to move a character introduction scene to an earlier place in the novel by about 30 pages. This action marries the new prologue to the plotline quicker, and allows me to get on with the rest of the story. But now, I have to change subsequent scenes to adjust… yikes!

But that’s what has happened during the creation of my first novel… when I changed something in one chapter, it had a domino effect on the chapters that come later, requiring more thought and additional revision.

But I’m still having fun with it, so not to worry! I only hope the finished manuscript reveals a story with a twist that readers will enjoy.
