It’s been some time since I’ve reported here what was going on with the novel.

For starters, after the big dinner scene, I wrote the big reveal scene. There, the reader should begin to get a clearer picture of Onmk’s agenda and nature.

We’re also starting the part of the book where magic will appear and take a bigger place in the story. Yes, right now the protagonist hasn’t really started to understand how to get it right, but she will, shortly.

Today, I started the next chapter where we see Listeria’s POV after the dinner and the starting of her evil plans for the next act. Right now, she’s all anger – fiery anger and that will drive her through the end of the book. I really like writing her POV.

After that, I’ll trigger the end of the act where the protagonist will be forced to flee and face the world again, but now with an added edge.

 

To close today’s coments : last monday’s writing excuses was a real treat to listen. First, it was one of the funniest so far (“keep it snappy!”) and I laugh out loud every time I listen to it. Then, it also was instructive – the reflexions on pacing should be useful. And it’s nice to hear from someone who outlines as little as I do!
