So, I've realised I've made a major mistake in my WIP. I initially made Jared an ex-NFL player and football scout, coz *shrugs* whatever.

NOW, I realise this was a horrible mistake.

I really don't like American Football. I don't like the way it's played, I don't like the uniforms, I don't like the whole attitude that goes with it. It's just not my thing.

So trying to research it over the last week, is making me unhappy.

HOWEVER, I do like...baseball. I like the history, I like the uniforms, I get the rules and the whole excitement behind it. I used to play softball so I have a little muscle memory too of stepping up to bat and praying you don't make an ass of yourself, and the relief of crossing home plate. I know very little about America's favorite pastime but getting to research that would be a joy. I've promised myself that the next time I come to the US that I will make sure I get to go to a game and experience the whole sitting in the stands thing : )

SO, I think I'm going to have to retcon. Majorly retcon.

But how should I do that? I was just going to say a thing at the start of the next chapter, but then should I go back and edit the previous parts to change all the football references? Or should I leave it? But then it would be less confusing to new readers, but is that okay to do?

IDK.

Either way, I think Jared was a pitcher, probably a closer.

And baseball is sexy : ) x
