Two of Today's Personal Revelations

[lavanya_six]

1. Chapter 6-A of Facing Fearful Odds is gonna have to be a god-damned 20,000 word novella to properly tell the story it wants to.

2. In order to finish Taking Sights I am going to have to go back and extensively revise the whole goddamn 166,457 words already written.

Psst. Fanfiction.net stripped all of your SmartQuotes (I assume) in the second chapter ("Recruitment Drive") of Taking Sights.

GODDAMN IT.

Okay. Thanks for the head's up. Thankfully I still have my back-up files so I'll take care of that.

Okay. It's fixed.

Odd that FFNet striped the SmartQuotes out of just Chapter 2.

When you say your going to revise do you mean your going to start at the beginning and just fix the spelling errors and such? Or are you gonna cut scenes out, add stuff in, and completely re-write it? What i'm saying is, am i going to have to re-read taking sights from the begining?

I think doing a total revision of "Taking Sights" will be unnecessary. It would also drive me insane. So it's just going to be going back to word 1 and then going line-by-line, doing the beta I should I have had someone else do the first time around.

I'm not going to cut scenes, add stuff in, or completely rewrite anything. It'll just be correcting the errors that shouldn't be there.

So, no, you won't have to re-read "Taking Sights" from the beginning.
