We have officially made it to Step Three: The First Draft and that means every week you get to go right to the good stuff.

As you may recall of Chapter One: FIRST the miller is dead, I introduced the issue of societal positioning (doesn’t that sound stiff?) and how the model we’re currently working with is more than a little outdated. Note: I may go more in depth about the education system adding summer vacation to "accommodate" kids who were needed to work the family farms of the day. 

With Chapter Two: THEN the youngest son gets stuck I go into a little more detail as to the experience of being human being trying to make their way by means of outdated societal machinery. You could say these first two chapters work as a sort of tag team introduction to the book as a whole. Yet, this second chapter very clearly points us in the direction of what is needed to move forward.

I’d like to reiterate that these chapters are from the first draft of the whole book. In future drafts I will be fleshing them out and giving them even more substance. One way I plan on doing that is by incorporating the resource of Narratemes as a tool for daily questing, which you can learn all about through Periscope.tv/RoseJermusyk where I make every effort to go live every day.

We made it, you guys! We are in first draft mode and now all that’s left to do is go out and get more people excited to read this book with you. So go forth and share this post, the chapters, and the project as a whole with all your inter-neighbors!

Good journey, my friends, til we meet again,

Rose.
