I use these blogs to cool down after the work in getting a chapter up.

For those who thinks it's silly to take this long to put up one to two thousand words on this site: you may be right; it does seem silly. I'm very conscious of where I'm taking things, and I want to make sure all the elements are in place. These introductory chapters are introducing all the main players and bringing to the forefront the major conflicts.

I think now that most of the main conflicts have been hinted at or forwardly presented, I can finally rewrite the summary/synopsis cover that people see when browsing. I meant to keep it with as little detail as possible for several reasons. The first and foremost reason is that I really dislike movie and story summaries. I think they either reveal too much plot and suck the mystery out of the story, or they have nothing to do with the story. My summary was more of a teaser that precariously teeters on the brink of falling into the latter category, and for that I apologize.

I'm planning to write two more scenes to wrap up act one. I want to get to writing the actual date, but plot needs to happen first!

A big thanks for everyone's patience, Furor's selfless assistance, and my sister's thorough pre-reading quality assurance.
