    I feel like today I have finally finished writing the second act of my book. The final act begins tomorrow, and with the momentum I have right now, I think I can get it onto the presses in less than six weeks. It feels big. #amwriting #fantasyauthor #secondact

    50,000 words done, only 3 or 4 chapters left to write before my novel is done. Endings are hard.

    I&amp;#39;ve just uploaded a new video to YouTube, taking a look at the character of Peter from my book, &amp;quot;Dragon Silver, Wizard Gold&amp;quot;. I use these character dives to look at the motivations of my characters and to explain the choices I make while writing. My characters don&amp;#39;t always do the expected thing, as they each have internal priorities that may not be immediately understood, much as normal people have their own priorities.
