Plot-wise, this is a huge step forward - so great to get Granny Peg, the spider, the hawk-eyed boy, and the pale man's revenge all in, and this really moves the story! You also do a great job getting in more archetypes - that actions have reactions, that good deeds rebound to the doer but so do bad deeds ( ... )

Great comments and questions, as always. I was feeling like the battle was a little flat. So much more goes on in my head than what's on the page. This -- what is each shot and where do we need a reaction shot from Fay -- is a great way to think about it and will definitely help me on my rewrite.

I've been thinking a lot about Granny Peg and the spider. I've fallen in love with these characters, but haven't had plans to bring them back. Though now I'm thinking it would be strange to just have them go off on their way and never come back. So, now I'm trying to think of ways to work them in again.

It's very strange and nerve wracking to be writing a story without a clear outline like this. I honestly have nothing more than the vague concept that the pale man is my big bad villain, and at some point Fay (and probably all her companions) is going to have to face a crisis at some point. BUT I DON"T KNOW WHAT THAT IS...
