Exploration Continues: Changes in Format

In order to properly prepare my work to go to the editors, I've decided that I can't wait for everyone to get back to me. Thanks for the submissions that those of you have sent. I am reviewing them and I apologize for any delay in response. I will let you know if I have accepted your character submission and permission to use it in the book.

Unfortunately there are still some people that I have prepared sub-plots for but I need them to contact me ASAP to get in the book. So far, the people that have not come out of the woodwork: Firemane, rod, Amo, Lord Gatekeeper, Ramy, Bishop and Bowman.

I am going to set a deadline for June 1st. If I have not at least received an email from you I will have to omit the chapter parts where your character has a cameo.

Part of the interesting challenge of writing this book is the amount of chapters that I have to manage. There are well over the original 32 that I had planned but I am being talked into bringing it down to 24. The rest of the chapters can be made into a sequel. At least, I like the idea, I'm not necessarily down with it. I want the first installment to be a digest, as much as I can. There are some plans for sequels, but I am still concerned with the first book being a good one.
