Hello Readers,
So a few of you may be wondering, "What's with the spools and threads? What are they and why use them over arcs and chapters?"
To answer that, you have to look at the current title of the book, and I say current because the title has changed more than a few times along with revisions, The Red Thread Tapestry, I decided to go with the woven theme for much of the story (the celestial architects are called "Weavers", wizards/witches are called "Thread-pullers" and etc) so I thought spools for the main story arcs and threads for the chapters made sense, and went with the theme better.
While I'm only a novice when it comes to sewing, certainly no where near the skill level to weave anything in the literal sense, I liked the concept of a red-thread tapestry. For those who study literary sybolism in bother the western and eastern world, you'd know what a red thread symbolizes.
For those of you who don't know: the red thread of fate is a common literary and philosophical theme. Since Oren's transformation turned her into a fearsome being made of bloody-red energy, it mirrors her own destiny, her own fate as dictated by the writer-- you know, me!
That's all for now, readers.
