I revised a chapter yesterday, and I'm really happy with the results. Twisted things around from the early drafts. I thought I knew exactly where the next chapter would go. Since I was on a hot streak, I went at it.
I hated the result within 1,000 words.
I need a better transition between the last chapter's action and POV character and the next chapter's shift in POV & theme. So, I keep asking myself: "What would this POV character do next? What would happen?"
Now, I'm a big believer in writing it out and seeing where it goes, but I've made no progress that I like.
I realized tonight that I need to list all the things that could happen, even if only a remote possibilty, and select an option from there.
