Chapter two is done. This book is officially off the ground, and while I have a long way to go before I can see the exit—like, somewhere in the neighborhood of 138,000 words of "a long way to go"—everything has a beginning, and this one is now solid.
Writing this book is going to be a really interesting exercise, because there's so much I can't talk about. Not won't or don't want to, actually can't, as any discussion would constitute spoilers for the first two books in the trilogy. Suffice to say, it's a challenge, and it's going to get harder before it gets easier, but I'm very, very excited to be writing it. I was nowhere near good enough to write this book three years ago.
Let's see if I'm good enough to write it today, shall we?
