"A Question of Heresy"

3,322 / 5,000 (66.0%)

I may have to revise my length estimate upwards, as Last is only now planning Qoress' trip for him. Serves me right for dropping my usual estimate from 6K to 5K.

If I ever get to publish a collection or chapbook of Driftwood stories, I'm going to have to revise them. It's an unfortunate truth of the place that I can't write a story in Driftwood without explaining Driftwood; even once I start selling these pieces, I won't be able to assume that my readers are familiar with the ones already published. But in a collection, I'd have to snip out all the repeated information; otherwise it would get tedious.

Time to go pick up the laundry; then I write more. Ah, the scintillating life of a writer.

Well, I know for a fact that LeGuin does it. She had a cut-and-dry into before her story "Mountain Ways," and that one was a tiptree nominee/winner.

So you could totally do it. I'm finding a smaller version of the 'wait, I have to start all over' amusing with re-introducing Skyworld in my novel.
