one of our heroes saves another of our heroes from certain death and some other cool stuff happens.

And the heavy rewriting was very needed. I apologize to any of you who read it in its last state. It was really more of a blue pencil sketch than anything.

This part of the process is fun to me because I’m still introducing the world to the reader. There’s jeopardy, but I know they don’t care about these characters like they’re going to. There’s explanation, but it’s tempered with characterization and action. The last three times I tried writing this “book,” I got really bored with it.

Now it’s like I’m too excited to stop.

(And I know I’m bragging about rewriting Chapter 2 and not Chapter 20-whatever but I’m doing a good job getting the information in where it needs to be. I want to unfold the world gradually, and that seems to be something that might be tough for me. I either want to give it to you all now or not give it to you at all until you need to know a particular bit. Now that I know all of it, however…)
