Update: Book 3 - Somewhere Around Chapter 35
The further I venture into this series the more I find the story taking on a life of its own. This wasn't entirely unexpected. I created a chapter-by-chapter outline of the first four books, conceptualized the following four, and have left the final book up to fate.
I just didn't expect it to happen this quickly.
Last week I hit chapter 35 of book three and two of my seven main characters were ready to have their narratives reach a climax—and I still had ten chapters to go! The setting changed. The timing changed. These two characters suddenly came together and wanted to have a big finale—which was fine with me, but a little warning would've been nice.
The chapters that followed reminded me of the climax to book two, with short, rapid-fire moments that bounce from character to character catching different beats of action as the story slingshotted to the end.
It won't be long now, and draft one of book three will be complete.
Stay tuned,
