Rewrites - DONE

Holy moly over 2000 views?!

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Some eagle-eyed among you picked out a few errors in my writing that I had overlooked which made me decide to comb through and double-check a few things.

To my dismay, rereading my earliest chapters made me realize that they were "just okay".

Characters were being first introduced and some of them I wasn't even sure how much of a voice I wanted to give them. But now that I have more or less found my preferred style of writing for this fiction, I realized that among the litany of continuity errors I wasn't giving everyone the voice that they deserved.

I will be taking some time to go back and doing some re-writes, and as of the posting of this "not a chapter" I have completed edits of Chapters 1 through 4.

ALL CHAPTER REWRITES ARE NOW COMPLETED

Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.

I think that the changes lend more to the plot and make things more consistent with the story that I am trying to tell.

There is only a single MAJOR change that takes place.

There are two chapters with relatively MAJOR changes:

Chapter 3 and Chapter 6

If there is one chapter I strongly suggest going back and re-reading it is Chapter 3.

Here is a quick summary of the changes:

Chapter 1 - Clarity, tonal consistency with later chapters.

Chapter 2 - Tonal consistency, character voice, and less awkward phrasing.

Chapter 3 - Changed Sammy's introspection to make it more consistent with later chapters.

Chapter 4 - Dean is now more consistent as a character. Dialogue improvements. Continuity error fixed.

Chapter 5 - Inner voice clarity added and formatting.

Chapter 6 - Dean's dialogue is now more consistent with his character and the paragraph about Pokeballs has been completely overhauled.

Chapter 7 - Improved dialogue flow and changed Sammy's internal thoughts to fit the theme.

Chapter 12 is still on schedule! Expect it sometime around the weekend!
