A lot of paragraphs in this chapter were constantly being rewritten. Definitely one of the harder ones for me to
write, not becuase of the content, but becuase it has to convey so much emotion, the most so far out of all the
chapters.
-
I also realised I need to stop capitalizing so many things. It... gets in the way. (Actually I decided this last
chapter, but I find myself doing it a little still.) So words like "Guard Captain" when they're not spoken by a
character (and sometimes if they are), were all changed to lower case.

The biggest challenge is trying to figure out how much of a metaphor should be spelled out before it becomes too
much. I don't know if I succeeded with that.

07-24-2009 - I didn't start recording my revisions until after I was into Volume 2, so I'm guessing a new default
starting point for all Volume 1 chapters to be at 1.50. Rewrite to version 2.50.
This was definitely a hard chapter to write, and so coming back to it, I've found I change some significant parts to
it. It wasn't just simple clean up, but actually adding to the Stark's story at the end. A net change of +29 words
to 1,844.
