A rewrite is in order. · 12:44am May 23rd, 2021

G'day all,
So after reviewing (and re-proofreading) I am sorry to say that I am not happy with the outcome of Chapter 5. I had a different idea when I first started writing the story of how the outcome would be; I had a completely different mindset of what I had to improvise when I started the chapter; and I was not satisfied when I completed this chapter.

I guess I was just not in the right mindset and I was taking to account too many suggestions from my peers and I was attempting to cram too much info when I should have focused more on characters. Because to be perfectly honest, exposition dumps (while they could be important for the plot) are most often the case the killers of character development and exploration, and what I excel the most in terms of writing are conversations and dialogue. And I hate the idea of spending two chapters in a row with exposition dumps.

So yeah, I'm scrapping the entire chapter and go back to what I originally intended before I started writing this chapter. But I guess I could still hear your thoughts on the subject like what might have worked or what does work.

Anyway, I'm starting right away but I won't take the one currently up just yet (in case minor tinkering is all it needed).
