In my current project, here are the bits I need to write before I am done with this chapter (I have been so close to finishing for two months now; I've just been short on time and mental mana):
- The political route
- Finish the conversation with Damithi, which is a three part thing. First, the MC interjects during Damithi's convo with reporters. Then, Damithi and the MC play a game of Truth. Finally, if the MC impresses during the game, Damithi hands over what the MC wants. (If the MC doesn't impress, they get a partial victory instead).
- Plan and write the conversation with Erim Kyte. This one should be harder than Imaric's, but easier than Damithi's.
- Plan and write the blackmail scene with Erim's paramour.
- Plan and write the council meeting and the vote on Feylon's plan. At some point during this meeting, I need a good enough cliffhanger to entice readers to buy the book. That cliffhanger will likely be the announcement of the vote results.
- Double-check my logic to make sure everything is resolved correctly.
- Test for errors
It both is and isn't a lot. I just need to sit down and write.
