I wrote two more pages in "A Valiant Effort Today." I also included some more Nordic Mythology into "Black Swan Origins: Nineveh", as well as some Gilgamesh references. I rewrote the majority of a scene in which the characters codenamed "The Protector" and "The Court Jester" go on a mission. When I first wrote it, I glossed over the details so that I could move on to more exciting and emotionally powerful scenes. However, now the object which they are trying to obtain actually has a major impact on the plot. I only stopped because I really need some sleep. The next scene that gets edited involves "The Amazon." She wasn't a planned part of the book: she just kind of showed up and took over. You know you are writing a good story when characters are actually demanding to be a part of it.
