7/14: 68 words. I’d been having a bit of difficulty figuring out how Middle Builds 1 and 2 would unfold in Casual Business with Fairies, so instead of writing this morning, I did research and really dug into fairy lore.

I had been planning to base parts of this story in German tales, mostly because that’s what I was comfortable with after the three Zauberi Chronicles novels. But that’s not what this story called for.

Once I realized that this was a story rooted in Irish fairy tales, much of the second act of the book began to unfold itself.
