Okay, so I posted chapter two. Every time I read it I inwardly cringe a little more because I don't feel that it's as good as I wanted it to be. I'm honestly feeling like I'm torturing myself by writing this because Mao is so difficult to write. I mentioned this as a reply to a comment on Ch. 2 and I'll say it again-- Jun is so much easier. He broods, and so does Mao which helps a little, but Jun's brooding at least has a direction. Mao on the other hand has layers of complications not just in thoughts but in her decision making process. The woman is so utterly indecisive! >.< My chapters timelines are a little off because I need to add or remove portions to help compliment her persona. Mao muses a lot too. I've been meaning to type more of that part of her, but don't want to completely bore the audience either.
I finished the draft of Chapter 3 though. I'm going to fix it up a bit more and add more scenes (or maybe extend scenes), just to make the flow better. I think my pacing has gotten quicker... I think that's because I'm trying to rush through some parts to get to my main point. I have to slow it down more...
*sighs* I hope I can do this.
