SNAFU. Done.

[icarus]

First rough draft of Beg Me For It part four, SNAFU is done.

It's very rough from about page 31-45. It needs to be fleshed out, transitions smoothed. One part needs to be longer, much longer.

But... I'm feeling sort of blown away.

It's done.

Yeah, I often write out of sequence, just to grab the "wave" when something's going well. I have all kinds of problems as a result, but I think it's worth it. Usually it's not too bad, my "sketch" of the story usually keeps me on track plot and character-wise, I just end up needing transitions.

There is one major continuity problem between SNAFU and the next chapter, Stand In The Ruins, that's going to force a rewrite of Stand. It had been a year since I wrote Stand It The Ruins (wrote it last April), and I neglected to reread it before working on SNAFU. It turned out I needed a chase scene in SNAFU that I hadn't planned on. I'll also have to edit for tone I think. But I've already had to make changes to Stand In The Ruins to account for OotP.

I think Stand is a better story for having been written at the time the impetus hit. There are undercurrents in it that I'd forgotten about, that weren't in my notes but came out in the writing. I would have lost those if I'd written it today. :D
