Troll Progress

How cool is it that three scenes that I thought might be scratched turn out to be usable and full of action if I just reshuffle the cards in the deck?

The troll revision is now just shy of 20K words, and having the Widow disappear a child early in chapter five moves the Grant/David fall out right along.

I may start writing through on single plot threads for the next sessions and then shuffle them into chapters again. That seems to be a good strategy for this story.

Trolls are a little stubborn in telling me their story. Not like Binders, which are eager to tell their stories in flowery, melodramatic language. Silly, reticent trolls! Work with me!

Then again, a lot of the Norwegians we met at the Nordic Fest were kind of close-lipped too.
