Status Updates From Saving Winter

I don't even know how Rachel Huffmire manages so many different literal timelines! My head is spinning. I feel like no one is how they seem.

All right, that revelation was outta left field. I still don't get WHY, because up to that revelation she wasn't doing evil things & her motivations sounded reasonable. But now she's bad because . . . time-travel split effect? Seriously?

And the character playing "Gerda" doesn't make sense in that role! She already had another fairy tale. "Kai" at least does to an extent, but there's no romance in "The Snow Queen."

That can't be the Snow Queen, hahaha. That's ridiculous!

And I'm finding it vaguely offensive that a robot is going to impersonate Andersen (guessing from its name, has to be the robot) because the real Hans Christian is theorised to have been autistic.

Oh, so it IS a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale as suspected from the quotes!

But how is this fuzzy plot going to fit with the story of "The Snow Queen"? Who's going to be the Snow Queen stand-in here? Who's going to be Gerda? Or Kai? And who's going to impersonate Andersen?

I'm just not seeing how, and I fear the square might be made to fit in the circle with a hammer...

Usually, by this point we know :
- What fairy tale the story is going to be about.
- What historical personage The Mirror & co. are going to rescue.
- What fairy tale writer's going to be impersonated.

But this is taking its sweet time and we know nothing yet! And slow as well. I don't know where they'll go back in time to (1800s?), what the fairy tale connection is (Andersen?), and who the protagonist is (Baigh?).

Not sure yet what to think. The beginning confused me since it's been a while since I read the previous books and there's SO many characters and things going on. I LOVED Baigh and Fleur and was excited to see more. But the following 20% or more was all from my least favourite POV🤷‍♀️glad to get to jump back in Baighs head now

On my final developmental pass before I hand it off to my line editor! I edited 12k words today. This story will be here before you know it!

I'm almost done with one of my POV character's chapters! Hurray for getting one of my characters figured out!

I finally got through outlining the entire story. I had a solid beginning, and a vague notion of where I wanted it to end. Now that I know where to take everything, it's really starting to fly!

Just edited Chapter Five tonight!
