Into the Iron Kingdoms I go!

Hey, novella outline approved! I'm excited to set to work on my first story set in the world of the Iron Kingdoms.The only catch is that I am also excited about a different novella that I'm partway through and must now set aside for a while to write about the Iron Kingdoms.Arguably, this is not the ideal way to work from a purely creative point of view. But contracts and their associated deadlines dictate what gets written when.http://privateerpress.com

The five stages of changing an outline as per the editor's comments

1. These comments are outrageous! Doesn't this bozo realize I'm a genius?2. I'll take a deep breath and at least try to consider these ideas calmly. After all, I do want the money.3. Some of these changes won't actually hurt the story.4. Some of these changes might actually help the story.5. I would have figured out all this stuff myself when I actually wrote the story.
