Well, it’s happened already. I began to think about Chapter 2, and did a google search regarding visas to Cuba. Wouldn’t you know it? The only thing you need is an exit visa from the U.S.. Getting into Cuba is a simple matter of filling out a card and putting down your passport number. So that means I have to deviate from my outline already…drat.

But isn’t that the way life works, and doesn’t that illustrate the point of my story? Just about the time you think you have it figured out, living goes and throws you a curve and you have to improvise. So improvise I will…I have to get Cecilia to Cuba in search of something regarding her grandfather’s identity. It’s a key point of the plot. There’s no way I can suspend reality and just make something up – not in my nature. But I will go take and shower and think this through, and find a way to get over this tiny little sticking point!

Expect Chapter 2 shortly. Note that the illustrations give a nod to anime. Anime helped Emily help me develop my story. See? No coincidences…
