Rewrites ahoy

So my alpha readers are saints. Saints who tell me bad news with a smile. Okay who tell me bad news. Mostly bad news.

So my first draft of Book6 leaves quite a bit to be desired. I'm seeing some serious structural errors in the mix which means I'm at full damage control mode like I haven't seen since book 3 (castle). Flip side, I do better in rewrites and Castle is nominally a pretty decent book.

So this is going to push me back some, but still I'm not defeated. There were lots of good plot points in book 6, just not enough of a cohesive plot to hold up the narrative which if I'm honest is probably because I split the book in two and both halves of the plot didn't hold up without the other. I'm rewriting the first section and adding in a bunch of content so I can balance everything out and get back on track.
