Questions for your debrief interview: what made you want to re-imagine Esther, and how did she end up in a noir-style New York City? Also, were there any major changes that you knew you were going to make beforehand and which ones became necessary as you began to write?
The writing is a bit unpolished IMO, and would benefit from some editing to remove redundant adjectives and constructions. “Problematic” in particular struck me as an anachronism.
My heart's in my mouth reading this chapter, even though I know how the bones of the story are going.... great stuff.
Also, Billy McManus has great taste in literature!
Thrilling! I'm both nervous and excited for the next chapter!

Tucking these away for the debrief!
Bridget, I like the story so far!

Looking forward to reading the next chapter!
Thank you, Chris! Yes, I’m planning to do quite a bit of editing before publishing The Scepter in print.
Eeeee. 😳🫣
