Dylan and the Dream Pirates: Bit of Work on a thread

It actually helps my thinking process to write about what I am writing about. Silly I know.

Editing / Rewriting has progressed nicely.

This far, I have completed the first editing pass over the nine chapters.

CHAPTER ONE: THE PROBLEMS WITH PIRATES
CHAPTER TWO: THE LOST BOYS
CHAPTER THREE: THE THIN SPOT BETWEEN WORLDS
CHAPTER FOUR: THE LADY OF THE TEMPEST
CHAPTER FIVE: THE SECRET OF GRIMALKIN FORTUNATO
CHAPTER SIX: MUTINY ON THE TEMPEST
CHAPTER SEVEN: WORTHY
CHAPTER EIGHT: THE TOWER OF BONE
CHAPTER NINE: THE QUEEN OF CATS

I need to continue editing the following

CHAPTER TEN: OUROBOROS
CHAPTER ELEVEN: REQUIEM IN THE HOUSE OF LOGOS
CHAPTER TWELVE: TALL SAILS, TALLER TALES
CHAPTER THIRTEEN: ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS NEVER ASKED
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: SHOOTING FLAMINGOS

I need to completely rewrite the following:

CHAPTER FIFTEEN: DEVIL MAY CARE
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE RIDERS OF THE STORM
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT

Random Thoughts

There is a thread through the chapters that I need to really revisit and make sure that it subtle and yet clever readers will see the big reveal coming in CHAPTER ELEVEN: REQUIEM IN THE HOUSE OF LOGOS.

I'm also not quite happy with two descriptions. I need to figure out a cooler way to describe the evil bad ass tower made from bones and stone.

And I want to make sure that the duel scene is set for maximum effect.

I am happy with the plot and the development of Dylan.

I am also worried about describing the House of Logos in REQUIEM IN THE HOUSE OF LOGOS. Heh, weird that the two things I am having the most problem with is describing magical buildings.
