I’ve been storyboarding the changes I want to make in Black Flag, and am enjoying the task.
I have heard a number of writers complain about revisions, but for me, as long as I understand what it is that needs changing and why, it’s always been one of the fun parts of the job. I like figuring out how to fix things, and the actual work of making it better is just as fun as creating it in the first place. Best of all, when I look back at what I’ve got and can see the improvement, it’s a real thrill.
I’m sure finding a lot of stuff that needs to be redone, though. I’ve got 40 pages of new storyboards from just the first 6 Chapters. Some of those are for brand new scenes, some are insertions into old scenes (added clarifications, usually), and some are pages in need of rearranging so that the new material will fit more smoothly into the old.
In theory, I’ll need to make fewer and few fixes as I get further along in the story, though. ::crosses fingers::
