The long process of rewriting has, finally, begun. Today I rewrote my prologue and chapter one. I also rewrote the original chapter two, but I decided to merge it with chapter one.
When I wrote the first draft I only marked where I thought the chapters would be with some asteriks (*). Decidedly, some of them are too short or in inconvenient places, so I will be merging them together.
Also - the prologue. It was non-existant before. I decided that I needed one to act as a hook to drag the reader in (kicking and screaming). It turned out quite well, in my opinion, but too short.
The shortness appears to be my most consistent problem throughout my novel.
I start quickly and move on quickly - so quickly that in the first twenty pages there's already been three major events. I suppose the only reason that the novel is so long (about 250 pages, which isn't exactly huge) is because the plot is so long and complicated. I will have to find a way to make my chapters longer, without waffling. Hm.
