I’m closing in on being able to type “The End” on the first draft of BECOME: TO RIDE THE STORM.
Last post, I was on Chapter 44. I’m just starting Chapter 47 of, I think, 52 chapters, though one of those may still fracture into two. Two of the chapters I recently finished have done that.
Including Chapter 47. And when I say I’ve just started it, I have precisely one sentence written. And this is going to be one of those scenes that takes a little more time and thought because it’s going to be the place where two characters who’ve been kind of dancing around each other and their feelings, finally have to come to terms. Those scenes can be trickier than fight scenes, which are hard enough.
But, you know, it’s not really a story without the payoff. So I have to, if possible, nail it. Though, of course, it still is a first draft. There’s room for revisions. But that’s a lot easier if I at least get the bones of the scene right.
