Re-writing & re-writing and this was not intended!
A few weeks ago I started to write the formal details to section 29. This is the part of the story where ..well Terry enters expected hot water. It's him having to deal with both Professor Venom and Amazon Annie at the same time. Only the opening panels were written those weeks ago. Then the night before the moron movers came, I took a second shot at that section in writing over half of it. I was pleased as punch at how that session in writing turned out ... and you guys know what came of it the following day.
Today I re-wrote the tail end of John's youth story actually adding more to it ( section 28 ). Then shortly after that re-wrote what I had already with section 29. Get this? While I was content with what could be called draft two of that, three turned out better? .. ( unsure )
Draft two was much more direct while three added in more drama in character interaction. So how do you judge which version is best in that case? Writing three bad guys interacting in a less than normal social atmosphere. This more has to do with Amazon Annie and Professor Venom than Terry. Terry's reactions come straight forward. But Annie has conflict and here's where I refuse to reveal spoiler about that. Prof. Venom, he took the most change in personality for draft three. While he didn't talk at all in story one, he did briefly take some action and talk in story three. In this third draft I bared thoughts of him from those stories more in mind than I had with draft two.
What are your thoughts about the writing here? Direct or dramatic?
