Yes, & you’ve been the only one to offer anything of actual interest. However, as thankful as I am for it, I still need to keep the main story line in focus. It’s becoming apparent that it will be on me & me alone to get things out. While I have the general plot all set, it’s the actual writing that I’ll need to work on. I’ll be better after this initial chapter, as the following chapter has already been mostly written, & the story has been planned out for years (story time wise) for years to come. Just need to get to that point. The dilemma I’m facing is do I stick with the original plan for what was to happen in this particular chapter & to this particular cheerleader, or do I have the option to switch it up & go in the direction I would choose, even if it sets things on a different path? I want to honor the original plan, but I also acknowledge that if it’s my story now, I should be able to send it in any direction I choose. Also, the perspective (narrator) was going to change at one point, so the question becomes do/can I do that now or do I wait until the end of Volume 1?
