The end approacheth!
With only 65 pages until my target range for The Twilight Trilogy: Part I, I'm coming to the end of the first novel in the series. I think the plot may run over the 100,000 word barrier a little, but that's no problem. I've got some nice stuff to fit in at the end, although it won't make such a dramatic ending as the one in Darkness in the Forest. Seeing as it's only the end of Part I, that shouldn't matter.
I'm also looking forward to rewriting Darkness in the Forest next month. I know there are some really major problems that need sorting out, notably the three spiritual influences: Woden, Berkana, and Gledwine. Woden needs some kind of reason for being in the book in the first place, Berkana needs kicking out entirely, and Gledwine needs to be suitably wrapped up in the climax as either a good or bad guy. I also need to sort out the characterisation issues with Evelyn, Brenna (possibly to be renamed as Isolde) and Cyric earlier on, because they sort of became main characters about half way through. Grrr. Evil people.
I've updated my sidebar to the right of the blog, to include a special WIP Progress Meter (!) to show how far I'm through my current book. I'll try and update it as often as I can. Kate, if you read this, is it okay to link to your weblog? I don't reckon you'll mind, but I thought I'd better ask.
