Post 4--Time (and effort) marches on

The work of preparing a solid foundation for this tale has shown itself to be a gargantuan undertaking, but it proceeds steadily. Working out the details of a story of this magnitude is difficult, but exciting, as well. Each character and every scene, every discussion, each situation and transition--all need to be smoothly and realistically portrayed to the reader and ultimately, to the viewer of the film we expect to be made from it. Ideally, the book itself should draw the reader in as if he or she were watching a film. It should be that engaging and realistic.

A reminder: there are to be at least two other books in the series. These will be needed in order to adequately complete this epic tale. Whereas some books and films are produced in series simply for the sake of having a sequel, this story would not be fulfilled unless at least three volumes are given to the effort.

No corners are being cut in the writing and none will be allowed in the filming, when that time comes. Thank you for your patience and we ask that you keep us in your prayers and have positive thoughts for us and about this project.
