Sorry I let this sit for so long… Communicating is pretty hard for me at the best of times, and then I think some part of me just wanted to hang onto this lovely message where I could read it over & over again instead of replying, lol n_n;
I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying THaTH so much! This is… honestly, so flattering, I keep having to stop typing to cover my face and just, like, try to breathe, lol. It’s also very encouraging to hear that it feels well-planned; building & then sticking to an outline is definitely something I struggle with, and a lot of chapters/scenes get sort of written on the fly, but I’m at least trying to make sure I cover all the bases of plot/emotional/character growth that I want to include. I’m really looking forward to getting back to this story once I put the finishing touches on ATaSM, and I’ve found myself jotting down in my notes scenes & conversations I want to cover more and more lately – though, of course, most of them are for later chapters, not where we currently are in Rivendell, sigh…
