Almost halfway done with Chapter 5, and I’m going to call this the midpoint of the story. The later chapters probably don’t have to be quite as long. For this one, I didn’t have a lot of ideas about where to go, so I just put some of my own words into the mouths of my characters. That usually works. The things I wish I’d said become the things they are saying, and that’s…cathartic, if nothing else.
