I’ve rewritten far enough, now I can move ahead

 

     For quite some time I’ve been working on rewrites of my books.  I’d realized that one of my characters wasn’t working and knew I couldn’t drag him through an entire series.  Therefore, I killed the character before the first story began.  That meant I also had to go back through everything, extract his physical being from all the rest of the books, and leave only his memory behind. 

     This wasn’t an easy task, and even though it wasn’t a messy death, I’m still finding his remains here and there, in one book or another.  Moreover, if I don’t find all of the traces, those people who read and review my renderings will find them.

     I managed to finish cleaning up all but one.  Finally, I rewrote the chapters I had of Doggoned Bones.  I’ve posted the rewritten chapter 1 on the page.  Now I feel as though I can move forward on all of them. 

     If you haven’t checked the book excerpts recently, you might be surprised.  Can you spot the missing character?

    Now that would be cheating since you already know the answer because you were told… 😉
