W&F talk

I've edited about half of the extant chapters of the novel (prologue through chapter 6). Now I'm at the second Nelius part, and I suddenly realize that I need to write another Nelius chapter. Not just because I like writing Nelius chapters! I swear! It's a chapter I was going to write later anyway, but I suddenly realized I should really put it after chapter 9, since it is set immediately after events in that chapter. I think I was worried about making the Nelius part last too long, but it keeps taking on more and more importance in the narrative, so I am not going to fight it!

I've had people say to me before that editing/revising is not creative, but clearly those people have never revised a novel before.

Ha ha, and I'm sure there is limited interest in this, but I thought I'd try to identify some of the predominant themes in Wind & Foxes, for my own amusement. (Why yes, I am taking a break from editing, why do you ask?)
