(I could, of course, be completely nuts here):1. Scenes where your PCs/NPCs really 'throw down'/do something stunningly cool2. Introspective Theological dialogue/expositionThese bits are of course connected by all kinds of narrative, establishing scenes, set up, buffing, coping with consequences and the like. So, assuming I'm correct in my assessment, treat yourself: Write some of the 'fun' stuff - not 'what's next', just something that you're going to ENJOY writing.When opportunity/inspiration presents itself, you can come back and fill in the 'in between' bits, or write 'cut scenes' or simply move on to the NEXT/CURRENT arc and use the 'good bits' as flashback scenes...You don't even need to post these (gasp! horrors!!) until/unless it suits you. Really, it's a matter of reconnecting with the writing in such a way that it is enjoyable for YOU. You don't owe us readers anything. If you never post another word, we're all still WAY ahead.On a related note, the work (while obviously rough) is really, really good. I certainly enjoy it more than Jordan's/Goodkinds' ongoing excreta anyway: If I there IS a way to strip out the 'copyrighted gaming material OR (less likely) a way to convince WoTC to publish something that a) is not in one of their settings, b) features the whole Paladin/Succubus 'thang', and c) covers some controversial religious ground, I would suggest retrofitting for novelization....  Or Graphic Novelization...  Oh yeah, I'd buy that...A'Mal</blockquote>
