I finished the new ending to Empire of Dust.
Let me say that again.
I FINISHED the new ending to Empire of Dust.
It didn't end quite how I thought it would end and I'm definitely set up to commit sequel if I ever get the opportunity. I saved a minor character I had previously killed and killed one who had previously come through unscathed. I rewarded my characters with their very own cool spaceship and a new home on an underworld space station. I left a slight loose end in case I want to go back to it, but it's not so loose as to be annoying (I hope.)
I've now got a couple of incidents and a little bit of set-up in the earlier part of the book that were echoed in the previous ending and have now been orphaned, but I'm not sure that matters. I need to ask my beta-readers. It also means that one of the plot threads which previously ran right through to the final solution now ties up a little earlier and the final solution is purely about the central conflict.
I'm now going to make a start on the synopsis formaeve_the_red as promised and send the whole thing to bluehairsue for her kind perusal. Anyone else who wants to be a beta reader... please yell. I am so close to this novel that I would welcome a fresh perspective on it.
And I'm still liking the title.
