We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You have! Well done, Gud.

In one of the first acts of revision I nixed the name 'Elf' for one of the races. I'm very happy about this since it was more of a placeholder than a description of the race. I've got a name now that has two different meanings in Old High German and Swedish that are both appropriate to the race.

Gudanov - is it impolite and improper to ask what word you went with? I, amateur philologist and linguist, am forced to ask. :)

Oooo! That's NEW to me! Danke - vielen Danke! I'm seriously gleeful (and therefore seriously in need of help)

Chapter 1 will be a total loss. Pretty much as expected though. Chapter 2 will get axed pretty hard too. All for the best.

I've started revising. I chopped off all the stuff that happened before the action in chapter 1 and I'm rewriting the action sequence itself. Chapter 2 shouldn't be quite as drastic as chapter 1, but it still will get mauled pretty badly. Chapter 3 should stay pretty intact.

I'm getting closer to revised chapter 1. However, partly that is because chapter 1 is shorter and a bit of it is pushed into chapter 2. It seems better to me. My wife says it is way better so far.
