Well, there's a draft, anyway. Progress of a sort. I'm going to start typing it tomorrow and seeing if I can make something out of what fell out of my head onto paper tonight (the initial three pages look good for a meager beginning, and since I don't often praise my work right off, that's something right there.)
Unfortunately, I had to toss out all of the plot of the first portion in order to completely revamp this part, and it's going to alter the beginning of Part 2 drastically. However, if Part 1 is well-established and strong, there is no reason at all why Part 2 won't be helped by Part 1's major renovations.
I went with the island idea, and took away Darren's adoptive mum in a hurricane, gave him some friends and a mentor, AND gave him an adversary to go up against, all in three pages. No one on this island actually knows who he is, so I'm going to have to get creative (oh, ha dee ha) in order to tell him who he really is.
Let's hope the good work keeps up for long enough so I can finish this.
Ta,
Bec
