mhalachaiAfter more than a year's hiatus, Any Given Tuesday is completed.
Chapter 12 and 13 are now up, and that story is closed.
Thoughts on why I chose not to go back and rewrite the story:
Over this last year, I have been writing a lot of stuff in the AB universe. Inevitable, Mind the Gap, Switchback... my writing style has changed, as has the direction I take my characters. As I have moved on as a writer, my characters no longer explain everything all the time to everyone, and my use of colloquial language moved more to the dialogue side than as narrative, as some examples. Basically, I grew over the last year, away from what I was as a writer when I wrote the first 11 chapters of AGT.
So why not rewrite? What would I change? I'm not going to mention that, as it's not really relevant any longer. I could have spent weeks redoing AGT to fit where I am now as a writer, but that's all time reviewing the past. As a writer, I've got other projects on the go, and will spend the time on those. That is why I ended AGT as I did, with the ending envisioned when I began the story. Moving forward.
Another thing I noticed, that trying to juxtapose my current writing style with the Zerbrowski voice in AGT with my current Anita voice in Inevitable made my brain explode. I need to go read Inevitable all over again.
In other news, and if it's any consolation, I've got the first line of the next Inevitable chapter ready, and it's a doozy :P
Please feel free to comment, review, criticize, anything you'd like with the story. I do enjoy talking about fic, as you will all no doubt have noticed.
