Happy New Year!
Thought I'd kick myself and let you know why Chapter 5 of Burn so Brightly is taking so long.
Mainly, it's because there are two large scenes that dominate the chapter, and I'm struggling to decide what they are going to look like. The first scene is what happened in Heaven, a scene my beta informed me had too little excitement to it, which prompted me to think anew. Several drafts later, I'm no longer sure which idea to run with.
The second scene I won't say too much about, but it is a huge turning point for our heroes, especially emotionally. In this scene, I'm mostly struggling to put the thematic and emotional puzzle pieces together, because the pieces I choose to work with might change what I had planned to happen in the next chapters.
My fervent hope and belief is that once this hurdle is overcome (and it turned out to be a bigger hurdle than I anticipated), the rest will flow more smoothly.
I won't make any more appologies for keeping you waiting, because they are starting to ring hollow, though I mean them equally every time. I work on Burn so Brightly every day, but climbing out of this ditch is going to take some effort.
Anyway, happy new year! And thankfully, we will soon have another episode of Supernatural to enjoy.
