Grace 18

Here's Grace 18. It's an action chapter. Hopefully it will be enjoyed.

The story is nearly over. Two Chapters and maybe an epilogue is my current estimation. I'm already mentally composing a list of major issues that will need to be mended during the editing process. It'll be a lot of work, but the story that I want to tell will come out the other end having been told in a way that satisfies me. That's the goal.

One such change involves this chapter. I wonder if I could split it down the middle, flesh out both parts a bit more and make it two chapters. But I think that the pacing works for the most part and that two chapters of pure action would be a bit overwhelming and out of character for Grace. I'll think about it.

One of the origin of Grace as a story comes from this Dryden passage by the way:

And for this glory, after I have seen
The canopy of state spread wide above
In the abyss of heaven, the court of stars
The blushing morning, and the rising sun,'
What greater can I see?

Specifically the phrase 'Court of Stars'. Jacob suggest that that be the name of the book. I imagine that I'd actually call it "The Court of Stars Book 1 - Grace" or something. But it's an idea. Not sure if that's what I'd go with though.
