The Winter the Troll Danced with Old Nick is now solid at 4 chapters. That said, I just ditched about four scenes which, well, frankly, didn't add much to the story.

And I'm going to be writing a great deal of new stuff very shortly. With things happening. Regrettably, I think what this means is that about half of what I wrote the first time around I can keep. I can also keep the godmother alliance stuff. And he Widow will still eat more kids. Yum-my!

Other cool new things will happen. Like:

Manuel will take a trip to the other Hulder camp, and we'll learn more about Wort and Jensina. I hope for resolution there.

The same general plot thrust will be true with the troll witch plot.

David and Grant will fight a lot more. They should. David needs to feel that Grant has the emotion of a stone (get it? Trolls?). This will all come together nicely at the end in the climax, which I can still keep too..

Nick will frame Siegfried as the bad guy. Siegfried and Quartz will get all angsty. Quartz will be an active force for Feldspar. Intrigue runs amuck.

I've just got to get this all wrapped up in a nice active YA package.

I like writing. It's *so* easy. (/sarcasm)
