Making progress again

Since I last wrote about 10 days ago, several things have been accomplished. First off, I worked through the block I was experiencing in the story. We brainstormed the second half of the story, and came up with an ending. Woohoo!

Then I bought a domain name for the work: A Far Sun. I also put up a temporary home page, but it's pretty ugly. Even though the orange color is relevant, it's too much. I do like the logo I came up with, though.

Thirdly, I repositioned the start of Act II. Now it falls exactly where it should, based on the point I reached--that point being the halfway point of the story. I had about 250 pages, or so, and Act II is now starting about page 112. So, if Act II is to be about 220 pages long, I am just about the midpoint.

I am now busy writing the second half of the story, about page 273 or so. If you're keeping track, that's about 67,000 words. The plot is definitely thickening, though we've only just heard about the real bad guys in the story. My biggest challenge will be to make them big enough and bad enough to warrant the label.

We'll see.
