Please read this. It's important. I promise.
After a very long hiatus, I am now restarting Moonset. The first chapter has been completely rewritten to include some things learned from Stephenie Meyer's 'Being Jacob Black' piece on her website and some stuff we learn about werewolves/Jacob in Eclipse. There are no real spoilers just yet, Eclipse just helped me understand Jacob a bit better.
The old version of the chapter cut off very abruptly, this new version now has the entire chapter 'Cheater' from Jacob's POV from when he first comes into the chapter. It has also gotten a longer and more in-depth preamble about what happened in Twilight and the parts of New Moon where we didn't see Jake.
In short, I highly suggest that if you read the old chapter one, you reread this one.
My schedule for this is very loose. I'm going to try for a new chapter every three weeks. 'Waiting' is almost finished, so it may be shorter lengths of time between each chapter later on. But I somewhat doubt it. Part of the problem with this story is that it is very time consuming and it drove me crazy last time at the daunting task of writing it and writing it well.
Please understand that it is incredibly tiring to have to pick out bits of dialogue and action, then reference Eclipse and 'Being Jacob Black,' and finally decide on how Jacob reacts to something. It's not my favorite way of writing, as it grates on my nerves, but reading Eclipse has inspired me to finish this, so I will try to not give up again.
On that note, I know that a part of the reason that I originally left this project was the lack of reviews. Reviews do encourage me to write faster, and keep my spirits up about stories. I am always second guessing whether I am accurately portraying a character, and it plays on my fears when I don't have any sort of response to what I've done. So I implore the silent readers of this story to review, it takes only a second to type one out.
And yes, I'm rambling and being slightly unfair, but unlike some of the characters I'm using, I am human and therefore subject to human emotions.
Thanks for reading,
Makiie
