After much thought and ... GASP ... planning went into this story, I am afraid I will have to put it on hold. I will no longer be participating in NaNoWriMo 2005, unless some miracle happens. I have found it necessary to work on a
different project that needs much more attention and direction.
As of now, the chances of me actually doing NaNo is slim to none. I will, however, keep all the information I've provided here, as I intend to revisit Follow the Tisa no later than next spring, hopefully long before.
Thanks for the help, suggestions and kind comments from those that followed until now.
