Work-In-Progress Update: Section 4 (of Part 2 of the WALL Finale) Done

So-o, it’s taken six weeks (very comparable with Section 2, as it happens) but Section 4 (of the second half of the WALL finale — remembering my “diptych” account here) is now a wrap.

So now tis onward, onward (‘game is afoot’ — with all due respect, & apologies, to the great Sherlock) to Part 5 — of 6 overall, as advised here.

You may also recall, from my post on completing Section 3, that I proposed looking at Sections 4 and 5 together. I had notions of maybe collapsing them into one section, but so far that’s not looking like ‘the go’, at all at all.

However, it was good to ‘zoom out’ and look at them together. So even though I have just finished with 4, I already have a good idea of where am going with 5. Awesome: high (ahem) five.

The revision road goes on — but not forever.

To date, while by no means a doddle, the revision is certainly going exponentially faster than Part 1 (as the summary of updates below attests.) The other information that may be of interest is that every section I’ve completed to date is pretty much now doing what I’ve always intended for the storyline and the characters.

So now, back to it — but in the spirit of the past few weeks, I’ll likely continue with the “Inside the Revision” posts. Topics that may / may not be canvassed before Christmas include a little more on zooming out and in, plus Bandersnatch meters and the accompanying significance of vorpal blades. Watch this space!
