Just a wee little update... okay, that's a lie.

The outline for the Feathers rewrite is complete.

I've posted before that my outlines are the story without the prose and dialogue; they're draft 0.5, if you will. This helps me get a more organic feel for pacing, structure... it's easier to adjust to things like the events of In Fine Feather working better as the fifth story arc instead of the third. "Wait, how many arcs are there??" Oh, a few. I'll start offering sneak peeks to Patreon/SubscribeStar in the near future :>

The outline clocks in at 25,141 words. For reference, the entirety of Feathers with Benefits, as posted, is 32,189 words. Going by outline-to-final-draft of Salazzle Dazzle and Bubble Entendre (the only other two of my works longer than just the outline), the final drafts are, give or take, 4x larger than their outlines.

Yeah, that's a low-end estimate of 100,000 words. About average for an entire fantasy novel. Writing two novella-length stories was good practice and I learned some valuable lessons, but I've still got my work cut out for me.

It still blows my mind that this story, originally a two-parter porn-with-plot, has grown so much and captured the hearts of so many. I really hope the rewrite will be everything all of you, especially my long-time fans, have been waiting for. If not better.

I guess I'll just have to write it and find out. ^v^
