Change is Good

I have been talking about rewrites and revising the same story forever. Last night I finished the official revision of the storyline to An Altered Ending. It wasn’t without a lot of deliberation as anyone willing to listen to my ramblings knows, but there were gapping plot holes that always bugged me and I never felt like I had properly fixed them. That feeling became worse when I wrote How We Began. So, here are the plot holes that bothered me:

-why would anyone that in love just stop talking to the person because their parent fell ill?

-why wouldn’t he just go to her place and find out what’s going on?

-How could Helene survive 6 years with stage 4 cancer?

-And as a tie in from H.W.B., what happened with Super sexy Donovan?

I won’t get into heavy details, but these have all been fixed. I will say that Liam is still at the heart of the problem, but he did something a little more dastardly. Don’t worry, it still blew up in his face. ;)

I still feel it needs another edit for structure and grammar, but I’m happy to say that the problems were fixed with very little changes to the story. Mostly dialogue.

That being said, when it comes to writing them I hope this *finally* puts the story of Ellen and Simon to rest.
