Editing

I've done quite a bit of editing, lately. I had to: there were too many rough lines and repetitions. I've enjoyed it, though. It made me go back over everything and evaluate previous chapters. I have a slight problem, in that I'm not 100% sure whether the current seventh chapter is actually the eighth. The one that may have to go before it hasn't been written yet, but there are some good notes waiting for me to read about it (told you I had planned a bit beforehand). I'll make a decision after that. It's good, though - I'm into the story and heading into more of the future happenings. There are subjects that I haven't touched on, but they will appear and I'm not too far off exploring them.
I haven't used any of the flashbacks yet, either. They are for later and must be placed at the most revealing points in the story.
I do feel a bit 'lighter' in my head about everything. I guess I had been getting bogged down with a million things. Actually, I feel like I've fallen through a hole in a wall and discovered an exciting world, only to realise I am still in the original one, just a different place.
Odd, but good!
So, if I'm now going to write a new chapter, and there are lots still to come, I'll need my pen...
