Part four of Written on the Mirror is on the shelf, clocking in at 21,619 words for the present (so a little shorter than part three). There weren't really any plot holes this time, but the way I constructed Mirror made this fourth installment the only genuinely episodic sequence, so I ended up tossing a lot of day in the life type material in here because it wouldn't fit later on. This created so many odds and ends that I had to take the whole thing apart, reconfigure the timeline and stitch it back together in a slightly altered order so that everything still fit and it might have some approximation of dramatic flow.

I added several brand new scenes, and it took twice as long to complete as I had been hoping it would, but I'm calling it good enough for now.

I'll be reconfiguring part five next, but I'm taking a needed break first. Maybe I can learn how to write something short.
