I think this is why I write... Finally "finished" what I hope is the second to last edit pass for Book Two of the Curse of Royalty series a week or two ago and sent it off to my awesome beta readers. I've already gotten stellar feedback from some of them. Currently, I'm in the middle of working on book three. I'm about 2/3s of the way through the manuscript and am at a standstill because I'm trying to figure out how Anthony will finally admit who he is. I've written and scrapped that scene so many times that I'm unsure how it all should play out (and still lead us down the road to the end scenes I've written). By this time in the story, the reader already knows who he is. They may not know his proper name, but they know who he is - it's just Peydra who is in the dark and needs enlightening. I'm not sure what her reaction should be. I know what mine might be, but I know that wouldn't work for the book.
