Happily Writing Through the Middle

The Piper's Debt is going very well. For a little while it was in a slump. You see, I have no problem beginning a novel, and once the ending has made itself known to me than that isn't a problem either. Heck, I'm 98% sure of how Piper's Debt is going to end so once I get there that will fly by. It's the middles of books that drive me bonkers.

The problem with middles, at least for me, is that that's when I realize that my conflict either isn't as big as I thought it would be or it's too big. With Piper's Debt I was beginning to worry that I had already written the biggest scene and that the rest would suck. That is no longer the case. Chapters Thirty-One through Thirty-Three are full of conflict and it's becoming fun to write again. I just need to figure out what the heck the climax is going to look like then the rest should fall in line.

The first draft is still scheduled to be done this summer. Hooray!
