Seriously what is this with me and doing major revamps of my novel always around chapter 13? Last time it was a back and forth between medieval and futuristic fantasy along with PoV changes, this time it's me taking an idea that my friend Parametric rekindled and I've decided to run with it: writing this entire thing from Damian's PoV. Because, let's face it, Ares' PoV just isn't "it" and Damian is so much more fun to write and actually drives things forward.
Because honestly, who can say no to snark, violence and my favorite trigger-happy assassin with anger issues?
Now the real challenge lies in restructuring the Ares chapters that I already have to fit into the Damian PoV, while incurring minimal cuts and a potential for further subplots and a more action-driven narrative including more supporting characters. Also, this way Ares will come off as much more creepy, dubious and villainy - fun times for me.
And yes, I am officially done yanking my hair out and yelling at my computer. No, not even contemplating heavy drinking anymore. Okay, maybe a little heavy drinking?
Oh well, such is writing life.
And on a finishing note: God is a writer. Check out last week's season finale of SUPERNATURAL if you don't believe me. This show definitely has a spot within my favorites. Love, love, love it :)
