Something is feeling a little off to me in the new Danica story. It just doesn’t feel like it has a solid enough central theme to be a standalone story. If it were a chapter in one of the greater books, I think it would be fine, but this is supposed to be a transition story.
I stepped back from it for a bit, to let what I already have finished simmer. I’m going to go back and review it as soon as I complete the changes my editor sends back on something else I just finished under my alternate pen name. I’m steadily working through how to tie everything together into a standalone story. I shouldn’t have to rewrite much, I think I just need to get a couple of scenes in there and reword a few passages. I’ll keep everyone posted.
I’ll be working on some new Laresa stuff soon too, for those who are fans of our beautiful Djinn. I just updated the Laresa’s World page with the new Chapter 16, for easy reading linkage.
