Progress,, progress, progress!

It was a very good day yesterday. I made some REAL headway transcribing my hand written manuscript to my computer! No that doesn't mean book three is complete. I try not to get too much hand written before putting it on the computer. As I transfer it, I empelish the story and also watch the flow.
Sometimes, if I have a day or so in between writings I will leave out a critical part of the story or duplicate it further on. I have even eliminated entire sections (dozens of pages) because as I put it on the computer, I decide I don't like where that particular line is going or it just doesn't seem to fit well with the rest of the story. I wouldn't want to spend extra time writing a part of the storyline only to eliminate it.
There are times I have had to do that. No matter how much I love what I have written, if it doesn't enhance the story, it has to go. I do keep all those sections I have deleted from my books. You never know when they will make a book of their own or find their way back into the series.
