Did a bit of work on some previous chapters tonight. I’ve decided to make Argent and Whisker meet Ixion instead of Pothandas in the portal. I also cut out Pothandas from the prologue. I figured he was in on the action too soon after being kidnapped by The Shadow Kingdom. I still have a long way to go, including moving forth from where I am now, and going back again for more tweaking.
I’ve been doing some plotting for the final battle. Haven’t worked it all out yet, though. I am really thinking about bringing Juanita into the action. I think it would add a bit of humor (at least, what I have planned certainly would). My idea is to make her pose as a soothsayer in order to distract either Ixion or Jeremiah. Not sure which, yet. Or maybe it will be a good portion of the army.
Also thinking more about how to involve Tanner more into the storyline. I’ll think of something eventually.
Thinking about it, it’s funny how many names other people have helped me come up with. Tanner was one of them, chosen by an old classmate. Sarah came up with a lot of them, including Alevus, Airmid’s last child, and Pothandas. And a few others have thrown some in. Well, at least I can take the glory for most of them. I love coming up with names – but not nearly as much as I love writing about the characters! If I ever get this finished, it will be the first novel that I have completed through and through (because single drafts of other works don’t really count). I’m more enthused about this one than I have ever been about any others.
Oh, yeah! Avery is pregnant! I was hoping she’d hold out until I got her spayed, but Oliver just never could let her be. I hope she takes care of them – our cats have a tendency to abandon their kittens (but that’s usually the grey ones who do that). I hope she gets through the pregnancy and birthing okay. She is a runt, so she’s awfully small. Best of luck to my baby.
