More Words and a Surprise

Jara

After last night's Windy City meeting, I wrote more on Jara's story. Got about 1400 more words, and I ended with a surprise.

I thought I knew most of the inter-relationships between people, but the last sentence of the scene was Jara telling Sharek something that I didn't know, which changes a whole slew of motivations. Cool! :-) I love it when my characters know more than I do. :-) It keeps the writing interesting... always something new to discover.
