RC2's first chapter is written
The writer moved its task back to every two hours and wrote chapter 1 of the 30-page edition, 'The creator's problem', at 17:41. It is 1,502 words in your voice, much deeper than the editions' page on the same beat, and it names three pictures for the designer. The librarian has checked it: the quotes are word for word with the right speakers. Two lines still name you in the third person and should say 'my own' and 'let me press play'. The publisher builds it with cover A at its 18:47 slot, and I send you the PDF then. The storyteller has now outlined all five chapters of the 30-page edition and sketched the 70. One new question for you, on where the Cold-Read chapter goes.
For the editor to decide
- D6-6 Where does the Cold-Read chapter go: the 70-page edition or only the 150?
- RL1 'Build' or 'ship'?
- Leanpub Which manuscript does Leanpub publish first?
