Hey Dreams. Sorry it took forever to respond. Work on the rewrite has progressed rather slowly. And by rather slowly, I mean a snail would beat a chetah in a race at this point. There's an awful lot of work that I need to do still. I don't know if it will ever get done at this point either.
My switch from 1st/3rd to strictly 3rd person has hit a few snags that require a whole lot of plot repair and stuff. I'm trying to go back through what I have right now and maybe salvage some of it. But I am seeing all sorts of errors and plotholes buried deeper. If you want the original, I'll gladly throw it out there. But, be warned: It's raw..and mostly uncut :-)

I'm just getting the hang of Scrivener, so maybe the pace will pick up. The final version of this will most likely be vastly different from what you have in your hands right now. Such is the joy of writing. =P

** And for the record, new Constance is so much more interesting than old Constance. She'll probably make the cut. And so will Sam, in highly modified form. The funeral scene and the fire scene will probably come back, but they need to be reworked from the ground up. Everything else between then and there is up for grabs. When I originally wrote this several years ago, I don't think I was prepared to juggle three different character arcs and three seperate stories. Here's hoping three years later I can. :-)

I think the beauty of Scrivener is I can now write the three stories individually and apart from each other and then combine them into one final draft. Will try that next. Constance is plotted about 50 scenes or so. Sam was plotted for 75 - 100. Bad guy was plotted for at least 15, and none of them had any motivations or other character arcs. He was pretty much brooding bad guy. LoL.
