Today marks the end of a very extended story. Where Loyalties Lie: Ghosts of the Past has reached its conclusion. Along the way, I’ve learned a great deal about writing, and I wanted to record and share some of that, both for my own reflection, and because maybe some of you can benefit.

Ghosts of the Past 22 is coming out tomorrow (along with Wind and Stone 10 and Summer Lands 9. Yes, really).

Ruirik's really outdone himself this time.

GotP was actually in the 'new stories' featured area (the top 7 of the 10 slots) when it was first released, but to be honest, what we have here means a lot more to me. It means that there's a recurring interest in the story, and people who are willing to put up with my sometimes long waits to get the next slice of the story.

GotP 17 is in Editing.

That's a rather innocuous sentence, whose only major feature seems to be the capitalized 'E' (because editing is serious business). What it fails to convey is the amount of soul-rending pain I struggled through in getting Rainbow's scenes to work, and the delays that resulted from that struggle.

Hey, everybody. Couple pieces of news.

2) I wrote a fic for the EFNW Contest: Reflection. I'll update this blog post when it gets approved, though you should see it if you're following me.

This scene is canon in Price of Loyalty. I'll leave you to piece things together.
