Okay, so now's a good time to explain my little writing process. Basically, I like to keep 5 episodes ahead. Yes, 5! So I've already made episodes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 and I'm nearly finished on episode 8.

So why do I do this? Firstly, it stops me from stalling. I'll (hopefully) never hit a complete dead end, because I've got a 5 episode buffer. Second, it gives me time to read things fresh before I submit. It's usually quite a long gap between writing and submitting, and sometimes I have new ideas to slot in, sometimes I realise something doesn't work, so I just cut it out. And last but not least, it allows me to take your feedback into consideration. If people are confused about something, I know I can clear it up. If people like someone, I can make them less likeable. If people dislike someone, I can make them the hero [I love messing with people's heads ;)]

The downside is that it's taking some self-control not to just submit them all! I'm the kind of person who sees a doughnut and eats a doughnut. ;D So you'll just have to trust me when I say 'It really does get better and better'.

I'll finish episode 8 real soon - it's turning out to be an epic one! As soon as I have, I'll submit episode 3. It's called 'The Colour of Straw' - you'll know what that means when you read it ;). I wrote episode 3 before I was aware of the exact rules on TSR censorship, so I've had to do quite a bit of tweaking and careful wording. The original draft was quite gruesome! But hopefully it will be here by Monday, maybe sooner. The story moderators have been really helpful so far, always saying exactly what I can and can't do, so I'm very grateful for that.

Here's a sneak peek at episode 3! I like their reactions, but I'll leave it up to you to decide what they can see...
