    Looking forward to your Ruby Haze Encore on this site, as the original one was quite a good read even if far too focused on character interactions and daily minutiae rather than moving the plot along at a fast rate. I'll be cheering you on for your return to it! :D

    Thank you! I reckon I'll post what I have here when Encore is further along.

    I don't plan to cut out all of the character interactions, but I will try to use the word count I have more wisely this go around.

    I'd recommend focusing each broad story arc as if they were a novel with three arcs, so an average of fifty thousand words to show what you want for it and give it proper closure and a hook for the next one. Then rinse and repeat to move the story forward. :)

    That way you can pace yourself and don't burn out from it. ;)

    Not a bad strategy! I was already doing something along those lines but I hadn't been analyzing the projected arc lengths too closely.
