Today I worked up to about half of chapter 4. Some things came to mind while I worked today.
It's turning out that my page count for issue two seems to be coming up rather small. Not dangerously so, but it is definitely not as much as I thought. I suspect that I'll have to engage in some considerable beefing up the story in revision. perhaps add a scene or extend an existing one. I'll see how things work out soon. I just don't want to release an issue that doesn't meet its potential due to a short length.
Something about writing has changed in me. Issue one was a pretty standard process as far as I was concerned. I wrote, revised a bunch of times, and put it up. The process was familiar and I just did it. I'm still only writing the first draft of Issue two, but already I feel like something is very different. I suspect it is not something so much in the writing itself as my perception of the work has changed as I drafted. I no longer see these characters or plot lines in the same particular fashion I did before. But I feel confused with myself. Is this change a good thing? A bad thing? I suppose I'll find out when I start revising. In the end it's the text that counts.
First draft progress: 26 out of 50 pages (52%)
