Change is hard for people and change for me is always hard.
I've been working on this manuscript for almost a year and didn't want to change a thing.
That was until Regina (character in the novel) kept telling me that I was writing her part all wrong.
Like, what? Really?
But after stepping away from it and re-reading it. She was right.
Her part should have been much bigger. I had been making her twin sister the main character; while all along it should have been Regina.
See I thought that Regina just wanted the limelight for herself. Turns our she actually is the one driving the story. Who knew?
So, after bidding a farewell to over 50 pages of the story; I'm back on track.
Regina is happy. Her twin is much more rounded and I'm on a roll with my murder mystery.
See, in this case; change WAS good.
I'm just glad that the change came BEFORE I wrote; THE END
