Beautiful Death

Very few new words tonight. I actually lost a page or so because I went through the whole draft so far and edited. I know, I'm not supposed to do that much, but I needed to check some consistency through the sections before I forgot. I'm trying to build suspense through all the other characters knowing that Isabella and Hades met before, but Isabella herself doesn't know that the monster who fed on her ten years ago is Hades himself. I had to go back through and eliminate a few things to make sure it made sense.

Same with exactly who Zeus and Persephone are. Originally, I had Persephone spill the beans in her first section, but I've eliminated that for now. Yeah, Persephone hates Isabella, you totally get that. But not why, exactly, or at least not completely.

So I'm still sitting at 20,500 tonight, but I made some good choices.

Oh, I also succumbed and posted a pitch for this piece on Deidre Knight's blog for the contest she's running. *nervous*
