Today’s Wordcount: 2,275 (Not counting minor edits and rewrites).
The final battle is done and amazingly, I feel the best about the final line for it sums up a thematic echo that lo many pages ago I had no idea would be in this work.
“…They hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.”
It’s amazing in a way to see how God keeps inserting Himself in very powerful and poetic ways. This leaves only three scenes left, some half written:
Resolution
Arrival and Parting of Ways
Exile
I’ve been terrified today about what would be the upshot of the battle I had just completed, so I am once again so thankful for my very special alpha reader who was able to get in touch with me today. When you deal with schedules on opposite sides of the planet, this can be a rare and special thing. He gave much wise council that after an overly long nap I was able to implement, and I think it is all the better for it.
I can’t wait to share this with you guys!
