Today's chapter, "Mumbai Meetup"  , is the first of three existing chapters that I am republishing every so slightly edited.

I prefer to completely write an arc before publishing any of it, so I can tweak earlier parts of the story to better fit the later parts. This is particularly important if I want to add a twist or reveal later on. If you are going to pull a suprise on your readership, you should always have hints leading up to it that indicate such a thing is possible. Failure to do this leads to ass pulls.  

As an aside, one of my favourite authors for doing this well is Brandon Sanderson. If you come across a twist in act 3 of any of his stories, it's always properly foreshadowed earlier on.

Not saying I've put in any foreshadowing in these re-released chapters, of course. Not saying I haven't either...
