Sept 3rd: Now What

I finished an outline for a novel yesterday and now I’m pondering my next move. My gut tells me to do some reading and to game out some character studies. And, yet, I have some momentum and maybe I should throw myself into writing.

And there are some elements of the third act that did not quite work out the way I had hoped — damn AI and its knowing the logistics of things (grin) — so that has made me a little unhappy. I had this really dark sequence of events for the third act but at the moment, it’s just not practical.

But I have a long time to go before I have to get to that part of the novel. The general premise of the novel is pretty good and I think the only way I “save” it is to lean into it being a character study because right now I fear not a lot happens.
