tippetariuswritesAll this time I was working on what I thought would be chapter 22 of Throat of the World, only to realize that this should actually be chapter 24 or 25. Ack. But at least it's mostly finished, which means I should be able to post it quickly when the time comes.
The story has entered a phase where everything gets much more tricky. Lots of different threads are coming together, and all of them need tying up. Aside from writing the actual chapters, I've been trying to spend more time outlining the sequence of events to make sure they'll play out in a way that makes sense.
As always, I'm changing things to fit the story. Sometimes it feels like modding the game in my head. Solitude will be bigger, for one thing. The coastal area outside the city walls will be much more populated, with houses for Solitude's less wealthy citizens, little places of business, and at least one cheap inn (the Winking Skeever feels like a popular stop for people who can afford it, a place that will drain your purse if you're poor).
