Big Brat: Day 10
Chapter 2 +645
Total 4051

Chapter 2 is getting closer to the end, but I'm still not sold on what I'm producing. The concept is there but the words I don't like, or maybe the execution, or how I'm doing it. I still can't tell if I can just ditch these two chapters, or if the true start is someplace completely different. I think on one of my earlier stories I cut out 3K and replaced it with one sentence. I may do this again. But for now, the plan is to just write it to the end and then go back and assess the damage. Maybe one more day to tie up chapter 2 and then I can push forward. The meat of it is 4/5/6 and I know they have to be there, it's just the set up to those chapters that I feel so shaky about. Frustrating. And I'm doing too much telling, I hate that. But I will cut. I just keep telling myself, get the story down, I can/will edit the fuck out of if when the words are on the page. I've gotten better at turning off the internal editor on the first draft, but my God do I want to start cutting. I worry about this one. I think I need to tell it to myself a few more times and watch what happens.
