Update and gratitude

I'm extremely grateful for all the advice on writing for Maggie. She's such a major part of the story that I'm glad for that advice to continue. Today I succeeded in that goal of not advancing the plot, but merely focusing on adding her perspective in on the story thus far. There was one scene that required some slight rearrangement to fit her side of things in, but I'm pleased with the results. I have only one spot left with a note to put in a section of her internal workings.
Amusingly enough, my initial work had been relatively narrative from an outside perspective, and now that I've fit in all these pieces of the girl's thoughts, it's all become a bit unbalanced. Tomorrow I'll likely be going through and expanding on his perspective throughout, in hopes that in the end they'll be evenly matched.
As always, I am happy to send friends what I've got written if anyone is curious, but as there's a lot of writing going on at your ends as well I certainly understand if we wait and swap stories only when it's through.
Thank you again, and best of luck in your own writings!
