Shail + Trisan

Scattered edits to fix continuity.

Sizable 3k-word scene. Takes me two days to revise it, mostly cleaning up the verbiage.

Scene 61. Another day of polishing. But it was worth it.

Great work on Scene 61 involving a climb up a mountain. Almost done. Needs more polish, but feel good about it now. Strong. Pulls its weight. Specialized Language. Research. Inter-scene drift.

Struggled today. Distractions of Real Life. Cooper Hawks munching my Morning Doves. Quite upsetting.

Alpha reader feedback for scene 1. Way to stripped down. Added more atmosphere and context.

Scene 58 and 60 now Author stage revision. Getting close now to AUTHOR complete. Initial feedback says I have some scenes that are too spare. Need to add description. Possibly more interiority?

57 and 58 were merged. Major cut and rewrite and now we are good. The Trial and Sentencing are one. Just a few more scenes and Author State is done. Then a round of polishing and I will begin releasing to beta readers.

Almost done with the 42 scene in a clinic. Working on some world-building too.

Multi-day revision done for Author stage 53 and 56. Moving on to next scene.

Completed scene 11 Academy day in life and promoted it to the Author Publish stage. Moving on to scene 53, which leads up to the most climactic scene in the book. I've got some fun hijinks for that scene already bubbling in my head.

Big day. Remapped my Save the Cat Beats and adjusted many scenes from Act 1 into Act 2 along with the beat shifts. Drafted a new Day in the Life scene at the Academy between Trisan and Chae Ban. More work tomorrow to polish. Also added a touch to the chase scene 53. That scene was yesterday's work and remains unfinished.

Huge revision to yesterday's scene 42.2 work. A lot of new material to better connect to the next scene. Big chase scene. Still more to do and some deeper thinking about the plot pending for tomorrow.

Scene 42.2 was at least 30%. Last edited in 2025. Need a major rewrite to sync with the current narrative. It's now cleaned of wrong things. I need to add a twist at the end to feed into the climax scene coming up next. Another hour or so tomorrow should have it.

New scene. New content. New! Also working to reorder certain scenes that were clearly out of sequence.

Major revision to the Save the Cat All is Lost scene. The protagonists are screwed. And the Antagonist gets what he wants, but at a cost.

Restored scene that needed a major rewrite.

Quick adjustments to align with associated scene revisions.
