on a hot New Orleans day
Regarding Book 4, Silence to Singing.
I finished the second draft of a particularly thorny chapter (Chapter 4, “The Time Team’s Orientation”) that lays the foundation for both the main plot (“Operation Snake Hunt,” or, “Capture Karl aka Lord Tahei Charon to disable the evil Horned Edge”), and many subthemes such as the cheesy sexual attractions and ominous undercurrents in Lewis’s Time Team. As part of the orientation I also described the technology used in teleportation and to-be-enabled time travel. Right now this is full of big words and technical physics concepts. As I wrapped up today, I rejoiced to realize a concrete way to present the tech in a not-boring manner to the average reader who wants me to get on with the story. The “hard science” description will take place in an Appendix and also be posted on my website for anyone interested.
Today I want to work my 3rd draft of this chapter so I can move on.
