In today’s exploratory drafting the characters had an intense conversation about how and why, in the next draft, everything will be different.
It was followed by a discussion about whether, given all they know, they should just pretend now everything has already changed, or keep up this charade until the next draft.
Last I checked, the charade was winning.
But to their credit, the characters were also doing their best to reestablish the fourth wall and get back to the story as quickly as possible.
