I've been jotting down notes feverishly regarding the next stage of events. The connections are all coming together, as the story nears the end. Although there are roughly 3 chapters plus an epilogue remaining, as well as the preface, the story seems like it's coming to a close. All the loose ends are tying themselves up, the connections between characters is becoming very clear, and the symbolism is taking shape nicely.
I generally think of the rough framework of a chapter, then go ahead and begin writing it. The framework explains the concepts that I'd like to get across, as well as key dialogue that moves the plot forward. As well as how it all links back (and forward) to events that have happened (or will happen) within the context of the story. This process involves intense visualization, and an acceptance or rejection process of said visualization. If the visualization fits well within the framework of the story, then it's accepted. Otherwise it's rejected. I've rarely rejected anything that's come through so far... a better term would be molded to fit in with the story, as each concept that comes through has tremendous value in and of itself. More to come, as I'd like to use tonight, or tomorrow to begin actual work on Chapter 18. Stay tuned!
