Happy Thanksgiving!

This is one of my favorite chapters. Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows is starting to encompass all the qualities I love about a good adventure story, and then some: danger, excitement, drama, and magic.
Also butt jokes. Goddamn I love butt jokes.

At first when I was toying with the idea for Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows I thought about having pirates, because they're easily cool and fit the advertising theme pretty well. Clearly I've moved past that idea. This chapter helped get my fix, with scaffolding and rope swinging in place of rigging on a ship. Also there’s definite hints of swashbuckling later on ;)
I don't think I want to do anything with pirates, though. The genre's been pretty well explored recently. Though there is a story waiting in my To Read watch list that looks like it's all pirates.
If I did do another Daring Do adventure it would be more wild west / desert themed. Pyramids, tombs, and cowponies.

GUISE. YOU GUISE HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM FOR NEXT CHAPTER. You should be too.

The next chapter, titled either Found and Lost or Bottled Life, will be released in two weeks.
