Arch of Shadows Plan · 5:52am Mar 30th, 2014
Alright, so for those of you who are aware, Arch of Shadows is roughly halfway done, or so it would feel.
Actually, the conclusion is only two or three chapters away; there is a tremendous amount of filler that I have decided could stand alone as one shot side-stories. At this point, I plan on trimming the non-essential portions of the story, which is actually a significant portion as my pre-reader will notice.
Part of the reason for this decision is that the pacing drops off like a rock in the upcoming chapter, as far as story advancement goes. There is plenty of information introduced, but much less resolution and plot forwarding, and I feel that the story would pace better if I cut out some portions.
They will very likely be seen again, and I will choose wisely what I cut, but for as far as this story goes, as of tonight, I see an end in sight. This story, if all goes as planned, may be finished as early as the 5th of April.
