So editing is going well on PTWT. I'm not going to have to rewrite as much as I first feared. Mostly I have to go through and make sure the plot doesn't veer too far from the main plot line. The romantic subplot sort of took over and there's a huge chunk in the middle where nothing except that happens. And I had to make sure I was true to Jersey ( Read more... )
