I Have Failed You

Forgive me, readers of my blog, for I have failed you.  I will no longer be updating the Gods and Chaos story.

This probably isn't a great surprise after so many months of stagnation.  However, more has been going on than you might think.  I've produced a rough outline, pieced together from various notes and alpha read by a couple of highly intelligent friends, who basically pointed out that Kale is more despicable than my villain.  Appropriate adjustments have been made.  Also, I've written several key scenes, as well as a good beginning chunk that includes a rewrite of some scenes on this blog (no more of Kale practicing with his axe in the street.  My new intro for Kale is much more memorable, and better explains his personality).

However, in a writing class this past semester, I learned quite a bit about the elements that make books attractive to publishers.  I've come to believe that Gods and Chaos is a story I want to develop further, and I'm quite happy with several aspect of the plot and themes.  Having large chunks posted on this blog would be a huge hindrance if I reach the stage where I'm seeking publication.  So I'll have to discontinue the posting.

This said, if anyone wants to offer advice on the *rough* plot outline I've put together, I'm fervently seeking input!  Contact me if you so desire!

Thanks much for following what I did post of this story!
