Changing the beginning of your novel can be like deciding on a new hairstyle mid-cut.
I'm making some major changes to my novel, and I am kind of blown away by all the cascades that decision has caused. The beginning was too long and complicated, and so I have consolidated and streamlined a bit. It is good, but I wasn't really ready for all the havoc this would cause downstream.
I'm sticking with my core story: grieving father attempts to prevent his daughter's death. That is solid, but most everything else is up in the air. Ugh! It is good, because I have the chance to turn this idea into something special. I am starting over, though, and that can be a little hard some days.
