The Blind: Episode III

Sent the draft to the editor this afternoon, so we should have Episode III up by next weekend.

The interesting part about writing a serial is that you can't go back and change a plot point or a detail like you can in a conventional manuscript. Once the episode is published, it's published (you could go back, make a change, and then republish, but I'm looking forward, not backward).

The inability (or reluctance, in my case) to make changes forces you to a) plan ahead very well, b) leave enough wiggle room for future ideas, or c) have constant problem solving abilities. A good blend of these three will serve you well.

I have an idea where this will head for the next couple of episodes, but after that, you know as much as I do. A friend of mine that's helping me on the technical side said he was curious how this is all going to come together. Well, so am I.

Thanks to the guy/gal in the UK that picked up Episode I - much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed it.
