Altar of Heaven Rewrite
So official version 5 of Altar of Heaven has begun. I currently sit at 6,000 words. I estimate it to run to about 70,000 purely based upon the length of version 4. That means I am about.... 8% done. Nice. :)
This is the same story as the earlier versions but yet vastly different. In the earlier versions, I felt something was wrong. I wasn't sure what it was until I started version 5. Araceli's story needed to be darker and more.... psyhcotic. The earlier version of Araceli had her coming off as whiny and unlikable until near the end. This version makes her more true to the vision that I originally thought. Dark, brooding, and psychotic is how her story is now and I feel it has been vastly improved.
Wynn on the other hand is remaining largely intact. I liked him before and I continue to like him now. I forsee some rewrites of content later on of his story but his early story is just about copy/pasting into this one without any detriment to the story.
Another thing realized in this version... I found that there needs to be a plotline connecting the two initially seperate stories of Wynn and Araceli. What that will be yet, I don't exactly know, but I am thinking that it will run along the lines of assasination/kidnap attempts against Araceli. We will see.
So far, I am enjoying this version very much and feel that it closer to the one I want.
