It’s easy to forget, in the middle of a significant rewrite, that the first question asked at the beginning of the book has changed, and that the ending must be changed to match.
The fact that I forgot it is what woke me up this morning. I realized that I’d set up a completely new opening (wrote two brand new chapters at the beginning and tossed the old one) and by the end, I forgot to loop back to the new beginning.
So along with type-in, today I have to figure out just how I want to handle the new-beginning=new ending conundrum.

Fortunately, by the time you get to that point you’ll have typed up, and thereby re-read, the entire novel! That should help in deciding where to go.
