It's a lot like the normal climax but with 100% more LOGIC and 67% less IDIOCY.
I hope.

I'm currently still getting the final structure right, but it's coming along apace.
I want to be writing real words more than anything, but I know now that trying to do that without a 100% rock solid structure means that the draft aborts somewhere around 50,000 words. So I'm going to knuckles down and keep at it, and hopefully be finished with it by next Monday, and ready to start the final draft.
Well, I say final; after it's done, I'm going to be sending it out to a few people who I trust to cut it to pieces, and following that, I'm sure there will be more work to do.
Ho-him.
It's coming along.
I've also recently found out my brother reads this blog, and regards ownership of a personal website as 'walking the fine edge of twattery.'
But then, he regards ownership of personal deodorant as twattery, so screw him! Stupid, stinky brother.]]> Novel Progress http://www.fifthgate.net/index.php?entry=entry090303-191226 Sam Baynham Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:12:26 GMT http://www.fifthgate.net/comments.php?y=09&m=03&entry=entry090303-191226 http://www.fifthgate.net/index.php?entry=entry090211-151804 cheer

W00t! And then of course, ym vastly reduced rent at Plymouth Road taken into account, and the bond that is (allegedly) going to be returned to me from Duke Street, and January should be a pleasingly replete month.
For tonight, however, I'm going to take advantage of my nicely expanded floor space, get out all my little index cards and get the novel planning back on track. I'm now at fifty-thousand words and have not yet introduced the villain. this should not be.
Ho-hum. Sing ho for the life of a bear.
