i picked a novel i haven't worked with in two years and i'm rather amazed at how poorly parts of it are written. i managed 4381 words between prologue and chapter one, roughly a 75%/25% split between old and new, maybe a little higher on the new given how much rewriting part of the story needed. i seriously had to sit for about 20 minutes trying to work out one part of it.

for fans of TDC, this is the novel inspired by the series. i haven't given up on it and still have dreams of seeing it in print some day.
