#redring91 status updates
Organising all my notes, and beginning to write for chapter 15 —
And then realising I’ll probably need to organise all my notes for chapter 16, at the same time, because reasons.
Third acts of a story are complex.

And thus concludes the live-blog commentary for ‘The Consort – Chapter 13: What it boils down to.’
We’ve caught up to the current content! Thank you so much, everyone, for your support and love during this fun little project. And never fear: I’ll continue with the commentaries for Chapters 14-20, once ‘The Consort’ has been completed in its entirety. We have many loose ends of foreshadowing yet to be threaded after all.
I said at the start of this commentary there would be new content arriving for the series - and you may have noticed the many references to ‘Four o’clock in the Afternoon′ made during this live-blog.
I am currently doing the final read-through of Chapter 03, so watch this space. It will be posted shortly!
Chapter 14 of ‘The Consort’ will also be posted before the end of the week!
Things I did not intend to do today, but needs must:
read through pages upon pages of unpleasant insect research in order to find the unnerving piece I needed to fit my narrative.
The sacrifices I make as a writer.

Guess what?
Raven’s not having a good time.
(But, there’s also some romantic subplot development for her. So, that’s nice.)
Oh, and, it probably goes without saying, but:
Charles is most definitely not having a good time.
