Re-writing! · 8:04am Jun 11th, 2018
Hi All,
For those of you who have been following the Fairlight stories you may have noticed how the latest one, The fortress of the four winds, is a lot longer than the original. I hadn't realised it until this morning, but it's actually 25% longer (About 50k words) thus far and I'm less than halfway through the re-write! You may be asking if the story has changed at all, and the simple answer is 'no'. What I found when I read it through was that the storyline was fine, yet it was missing a lot of detail, or 'fleshing out' as some call it. There's a lot more character building here now, with greater explanations regarding the political situation during Maroc's time and so on. Personally I'm really enjoying doing this, however it is a long, long job so please be patient.
Speaking of which, I'm hoping to start a new paid job soon which is good news. Naturally this will interfere with the time I have to write, but not too much I'm hoping. At the minute I'm spending untold hours doing this, and as much as I would quite happily sit here all day, everyday, typing until my little poor fingers drop off, the real world waits for nopony.
In the meantime, I hope you are all enjoying the story. Don't forget to leave a comment if you fancy, or click that bloody awful 'thumbs up' thing if you feel so inclined. Believe it or not, it does provide a level of motivation!
Toodles,

Good luck with the new job!

Taxi driver?
As long as you enjoy or at least tolerate it thats all that matters.
I just started my own new job today so can guess you wont know if you like it or not until a while into it.

I think 'tolerate' is the operative word! Still, it's only a means to an end. As soon as I get a decent reference it's adios amigo to taxiing and then, hopefully, hello to a better career.
Hope all work out for your new job. Let me know how it goes.
