Annnnnd we’re back on track. I think that I’ll be hitting a point soon where I can use more from the original short story, which is starting to mutate anyway. I’ve realized that the perfectly adequate villain in that short story is better suited as something else in the book, and am establishing things accordingly. I’m very pleased, actually. I didn’t want this to just be an inflated version of something I had already written.
