Wrote another fifteen hundred words on Secret this evening. Trying to make a smooth transition into the conclusion of the story now.
I’m hoping that I can talk the same editor who picked apart last year’s entry into taking a look at this one when I finish it. Her insight was quite the boon, and I consider it as having a lot to do with why that story placed in the contest. It will be an added benefit that she’s already familiar with the setting and the peripheral characters.
