So that took a lot longer than I wanted it to.
The Christmas break was disruptive, rather than conductive to writing and so what was going to be a bonus chapter became January’s chapter, pushing things back a bit. Finally I’m done and the next chapter should take far less time to get finished.
Inanna has been a real pain to write, her character wasn’t really defined in my head until I started writing, she certainly couldn’t be the Inanna from the first time I wrote this story. I tried to make her more realistic and give her a lot more agency this time around. No longer is she just some object that Nick has to save but will have her own story arc and have more personality than 16-year-old-me could muster for a girl. Now though, I hope, we have an interesting, if not immediately likeable character with more going on than being a daughter of Kaos and Nick’s concubine.
I do hope you enjoy it and that readers of the original will like the new direction I’m going with this. Ultimately I rather enjoyed writing it after I got Inanna fixed right in my head.
