Okay, I did plugin last night and I did check and
confirm that yes Wanda’s furnace will switch over to run on AC automatically. How?
When it was turned off I turned off the propane supply and turned the furnace
on. It gave heat for more than a few minutes, thus proving it was getting heat
from somewhere. I had earlier taken the cover off and inspected it to see that
there was a propane gas line going into it.
This morning I woke up to frost on Treabilla’s
windscreen as I moved to my work parking location. When I plugin behind work I always
move as soon as I wake up so I can write and putter around Wanda in peace yet still
be out of the way for when the trucks arrive and life at work returns. Again,
wherever you are, wherever you park, act as a good guest should.
I didn’t write today but still worked on the
backstory of The Sisterhood. In so doing a problem arose, one which has worked
out into an interesting solution. First of all I had planned to focus the story
on Treabilla (well Treabilla and Brian, one storyline each) Since Brian’s story
has been all but determined I am left to define the other storyline, the one in
Tanea.
I had intended to show how Treabilla was seduced
by and joined The Sisterhood and then went to have some adventures in the east,
adventures which affected her. Well as I was defining what happened in the east
I increasingly wanted to have the main character be from the home where the
troubles are centred on. It would hit home more and give more of an impact.
The trouble with this and Treabilla as it would dramatically
change her character, she is the eldest daughter of The Director of The
Council. She can (or will) be able to go between different world, one of the
elite culture of The Council yet still pick up a sword and fight, or work up a
sweat. To move her backstory would forever alter who she is.
Then I got the idea, why not just create another
character and have her merge and heal Brian. That would be difficult and you would
have two Sisters and essentially a redundant character. I then sparked upon the
idea that what if as a result of what happens in the east, this character goes
bad.
I now like the idea where Brian and “Freavilla” (a
villain from Book One) comes from Kincaid and helps The Sisterhood take it
over, only to see her whole family slaughtered when a disagreement breaks out
and gets out of control. She then clings to The Sisterhood and sees that when
the cause is realized, her great sacrifice will be rewarded and she will be exalted
as a martyr (of sorts) to The Cause for giving and sacrificing so much.
Both characters experience similar things, both
fight a war, both lose their families, both have a brush with Evil. The thing
is, one turns away from evil and the other embraces it. It is that decision,
that choice, that flip of a coin which determines their path and what happens to
them for the rest of their lives. I see Freavilla being a reoccurring mid-level
villain thought the series.
We will see Freavilla again and again and their
hatred for each other will grow. They will become the other’s nemesis and
continue their dance of one-upmanship throughout the series.
Hmm, must let this percolate and get to work, for
now here is your sunrise shot
