First Things Last?

"The last thing we decide in writing a book is what to put first."  Blaise Pascal

An appropriate quote for the morning writing session. With two short fiction pieces revised & edited to a point that I am relatively happy with, it is time to jump back into the YA novel. This first chapter gave me a LOT of opportunities to grow and learn last fall. It underwent several complete re-writes, and that was after completely scrapping my initial project ("Lil' Ninja Adventures!") -- for now -- and starting work on this one ("Unconditional Betrayal" - working title).


The first couple chapters' revisions will be a bit time consuming, because of my decision to change our POV from 1st person to 3rd person narrative, which happened around chapter 6. Still stand behind that decision in spite of the extra work it created. Workshop feedback unanimously agreed and supported that call as well.
