Beginning at the End

Sorry, I completely skipped May. I thought I'd done a blog post more recently, and apparently I was wrong. I hadn't had much to say because I wasn't making any progress on the novel.

Until now.

So, I've figured out the climax of the story. I had this vague idea about it, but I didn't know where it was, or how the characters got there, or how they got out once it was over. But I've got it now. And to be honest, it was kind of obvious. Maybe it's cliched, but we're going with it anyway. It's much better than nothing.

See, I've been trying to outline this book from the beginning. I have most of Act 1 (the first quarter) plotted out, and the beginning of Act 2. Then it's just the major plot points with a lot of empty space around them.
