Another 5100 words on Petra Released. Here’s one of those boring progress meters, just to, you know, bore you:
I had another little “I-don’t-know-what’s-going-to-happen-next-and-it’s-pissing-me-off” freakout moments, as I did just before starting the novel. And I got over it in the same manner: I realized that I did at least have an idea about which way to go, and I was just afraid of going that way. No other paths suggest themselves, though, so I just need to suck it up and march on.
While pondering the next several chapters, an interesting thing occurred: a new character popped into my head, one whose existence I hadn’t heretofore even suspected. And yet there he was, all mysterious and probably dangerous and more than a little cracked. At first, I tried to dismiss him, thinking he was too similar to a character from the first novel . . . but the image of this weird, shadowy figure just kind of emerging to meet my intrepid band of good guys lingered. I’m intrigued. I think he’ll be showing up, quite soon. I’m not sure what will follow from that encounter. We’ll just have to see, won’t we?
