  Two-Wicked Candle

  Its been in progress for a very long time, as I've mentioned before, but the more I push on with new chapters, the more unacceptable the initial chapters become. I got lost in the sauce of the latest chapter, bringing back an old friend (and the complications of planned then rescinded design changes), but I really need to focus back on the original chapter rewrites. You might think this is perfectionism at play, but if you look back on the initial chapters now... they are simply badly written,

  Writers Block Over (maybe)

  As explained in my last blog entry, I hit a wall after writing an entire chapter that took the sisters' journey in the wrong direction. Since then, I have been stuck on how to reconcile this error; do I rewrite the entire chapter I was proud of, or compromise my greater vision of the story?

Before continuing the (let's call it Tau) backstory, I wanted to keep the momentum of the real journey flowing, so I began writing Chapter 23. Returning to work on these chapters a bit later, I decided that the Tau

  FotV Ch.1 Updated

  In my pursuit of rewriting Chapter 1 of TToTS (having now finished the Prologue), I accidentally rewrote Chapter 1 of FotV, slightly recontextualising Star's landing and Twilight and Star's behaviour to be more in line with later chapters (the first chapter was three years old!). It's up to you whether you want to reread it; it's 800 words longer, but nothing really different happens. I may glance over the rest of FotV to ensure consistency, but I don't expect to make such dramatic changes to
