artemisdartMy husband needed some fairly intensive surgery the other day, so I found myself at the hospital with 4 hours to spend on my own. I knocked out about 2800 words of the next chapter of Live Wire.
I'm somewhat second guessing the way I took this story. Part of me wants to have kept it more "slice of life" and ground level inside the First Order, and not introduce A Plot. But overall, I think I'll be happier with A Plot that can support the back half of the work. This way I'll get my character growth, angst, drama, romance, etc., forced upon me!
Maybe in another project or two I can resolve to keep it small scale and just focus on the tiny changes in people's hearts as they slowly Learn To Trust...
... but that's not going to be this one anymore. 😅
