I got well into the second act of this scifi dramedy novel I’m working on when I needed to hard reset my context windows with the AIs I was using and they both said when I showed them the outline again that my hero was “too passive.”
So, I hard reset the novel. Everything collapsed and I started essentially from scratch.
Now, after several weeks of hard work, I’m back to just about wrapping up the first act. I fear the “fun and games” part of the novel — the first half of the second act — might need to be re-imagined a little bit more than I would prefer.
But I don’t quite know yet. It might be that I just have to mess with the first few scenes and otherwise everything will snap back into place. If that’s the case, then this thing will speed up really fast.
I will be able to just hotsync all these scenes I’ve already written into the text of the novel and I’ll be back into the “bad guys closing in” part of the novel a lot sooner than expected.
