Today I did it.
I
started working on the first draft for the second half of the Padawan
of Fear duology.
If
that sounds confusing, let me explain: Only Preparation is being
posted chapter by chapter as I complete its third draft. I have no
interest in leaving all of you high and dry when you reach the end of
Only Preparation, which
means I need to be working on Only the Force.
I tried out five
different ideas for the opening scene. They took place in different
locations, with different individuals, even different points in the
timeline.
They didn't have
the impact I wanted.
So... I combined
two of them. Tossed in elements of the third. Shook it up. Changed
dialogue to action and action from flowing prose to staccato.
I am
pleased to announce that I am happy with the first two scenes of Only
the Force. Oh, it will need
refining, of course; but I'm pleased with the tone, and I hope you
will be too.
May the Force be
with you all!
