I have this terrible urge to go back and start editing. I know that there are parts that I'm not particularly happy with. Bits that I'd like to change. Places where I think that Harry might be a bit OOC.
I will resist this urge. Editing is for after NaNo is over. Then I can go back after taking a break from it, read and edit. Tighten it all up. Fix any OOC bits I notice.
And really, it's not OOC for Harry to sacrifice himself for the safety of others. It's just that he's doing it without blood shed this time, and for a far greater number of people. I think it's just bugging me that I want him to be Harry, but he also needs to not smash things into kindling. After all, he and Marcone wind up together in the end. I like to think of this as Harry being a grown-up and 'taking one for the team' a little.

ReplyDelete:D
That does make things difficult.
It does! Mostly because he's Harry and smashing things is sort of his default.
ReplyDeleteYou know, 'Harry smash!' *giggle* Though I'm placing this after Turn Coat and I think Harry's getting better at being more subtle and less smashey all the time.
