I can't wait!! =D Yea, I intend to update once a week after Zutara Month is over. XD IF I get a chapter of The Journey cranked out this month I'd be impressed. XD

Oh, I highly doubt I'll consistently update once a week. I just think that's a good starting point. hahah

HAHAHAHA! I'm not sure if I will either, but it's a goal!!! It might become two weeks b/c I write longer chapters.

I intended to use today - my only day off this week where I'd have any time to myself - to finish my draft and send it off to my editor-friend, but I got called into work, sooo... It may be another week until I can get around to it.

Do what is right. Don't push yourself or force yourself to update. Work on YOUR schedule.

So, during the eight and thirteen hour shifts I've had for the past two days, I've been thinking about my story, and I've realized something that has been bothering me about it the entire time. I've been thinking very linearly about it, thinking that because it's a Zutara story, "The Curse of Fire" has to be from their points of view, or only in others' points of view where one or the other character is directly involved... However, I've been thinking of so many layers that can be added to this story that have little to nothing to do with Katara and Zuko though in the end, they're the main characters...
This opens up so many more possibilities for other characters and their development, and I think it will, in the end, make for a much more interesting story.
It's kind of like in His Dark Materials how there is a lot going on that has little to do with Lyra and Will, but the story still kind of revolves around them.
Maybe time was the best thing for this story. =D

*Claps* Yay, extra layers sounds super exciting! See, that's why I'm totally sure this is going to be an amazing story. I love all your plans. Any more teaser snippets you can share while we're all waiting for the next update?

Um... Not really. I haven't had time to write since I took my boss's shift on Monday when I was supposed to have a day off, Tuesday I opened which meant spending the night after that with my love, and yesterday, I worked an open-to-close because my boss couldn't fulfill her shift due to being in the hospital (old people and simple illness don't go hand in hand), and my co-worker had a family thing he had to go to, so he agreed to take my morning shift today and work an open to close for me.
I just need to read through the chapter I have because it's basically done. It's going to be from Zutara view points, but not every chapter will be. One, for sure, is going to be from Ozai's, but that may be a while in the making... I just have a really interesting idea for it that I hope will add another facet to the story. =D

I'm curious now about the nature of this story and how it's going to develop!!!

Honestly, I find that romance on its own can be boring. Not always but most of the time. There really needs to be, for me, something underlying, driving the story forward other than Person A meets Person B and they fall in love.
In this one, there's war, and there will be battles, and there will be familial turmoil that isn't solely what we witnessed in the show though it will definitely tie into it all, and there will be explanations for why the characters do the things they do! I love A:TLA to death, but I really wish they'd have expanded on a lot of things that they didn't. I get time limitations and all that, but yeah...
Now, let's just hope I can live up to the task I've set for myself. =D
