I'm still working on the second draft of Mind Games. I've just sent Lieutenant Gray's Wolf Platoon towards the river. All hell broke loose, the convoy was scattered, and now I'm trying to keep track of everybody.
This is one of those things that's really easy to screw up. The "scene" is several different miniature locations, and the platoon's squads have been separated. I've got a bunch of sergeants and corporals to keep track of, as well as their locations, and I'll have to keep a close eye on things to make sure I don't accidentally use the wrong name.
So I'm thinking about making a diagram in MS Paint.
By the way: the word count of this book is currently just over 89k. That's about 10k more than the first draft, which I expected, since I always end up adding more material during revision. I'm hoping to break 100k by the time I'm done with this draft, and I think I should easily accomplish that.
