An overhaul and another One-shot.
Not a big overhaul, mind you, but just one for Chapter 18 of “By Will Alone”, the aforementioned chapter that I didn’t like. I’ve re-done it, editing the first half a little and completely re-doing the middle and part of the end. Now I feel better about it. The hard part was that it was from none of the Pevensies’ points of view.
Interestingly enough, while re-writing Chapter 18 I also wrote another one-shot. Surprisingly, it deals with Susan, which is odd because Susan was never one of my favorite characters. It shows how Susan gets to Aslan’s country in the end and is different from my other works. The other three Pevensies make an appearance. A bit inspired by “The Great Divorce” by C.S. Lewis during the second part. It can be read here:

Enjoy!
Of short stories, longer ones, and a new one-shot.
First things first: there is a new one-shot up. It is called “Death” and deals with how each Pevensie sees death, ending with the train incident. It was inspired by a conversation I had with my friend about death and whether we were afraid of it or not. It was also inspired by the fact that Reepicheep was the only one to reach Aslan’s country in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It can be read here:

Also, a new chapter (Chapter 14) of “By Will Alone” is up. I’ve written a few chapters ahead, but the most recent one I don’t like at all and may have to go through major editing before I continue on with the story.
If you haven’t noticed before, I’m more of a short-story writer than a novel-length writer, although the method I’m using for “By Will Alone” helps me stay focused (do not let the several one-shots I’ve written in the mean time fool you).
Another Golden Age One-shot
I suddenly got the urge to write something about Edmund discovering what Aslan did for him. It’s much different than the scene taking place in “Everything” because it occurs during the Golden Age. The story is in two parts, the first (italicized) being when he finds out, and the second when he finally understands why Aslan sacrificed himself. It can be read here:

One-shots of Narnia
Two one-shots have come to mind while writing my one big story. So here’s a bit about them:
“Oh, Aslan” was an idea that I decided to write on simply because in my other story Edmund was being tortured, so to speak, and I wanted to write something a bit lighter about him. So this centers around his first girlfriend in England. I always wondered what that would be like, and I figured that even though Edmund must have dealt with girls in Narnia, it was probably a much different experience and he would still have no idea how to go about it in England. The story can be read here:

The other one-shot just posted today, “Forgotten”, was a random idea when I imagined Corin and Edmund having a conversation after Corin’s mother’s death. I figured that this might remind Edmund of his own parents, and so that is what this short story is about. I’m not sure if it’s any good, but I hope you enjoy it. The story can be read here:

Just An Update
So far “By Will Alone” has thirteen chapters and, as of now, should end with about 24 chapters. I have a plan for all the chapters so far to make writing easier. Also, I’ve written up to Chapter 16 (this not counting the Prologue as a chapter) so that if I do end up not able to write, there will still be chapters to put up. I plan on having two or three chapters written ahead of the one posted for this reason. The reason they are not up now is because after I write them I edit them and make sure they are in line with the other chapters.
I hope you all are enjoying the story!
The End
So far this story only has the Prologue and the first three chapters up. I’ve written the fourth, fifth, and part of the sixth chapter. The thing I’m most excited about, however, is the ending.
I have never done this before, so I’m quite excited that I’ve written the ending out. It’s a very rough draft and will be edited over time, but it’ll help guide the story (hopefully). It’s also the darkest thing I’ve ever written. It’s the not very end, mind you, just what I’m considering the last chapter. I want to do an epilogue which I’ll write probably at a later point in the story. Meanwhile, the latest chapter is here:
