I spent the bulk of my week getting the sequel to my first novel (publishing pending) written. I’m at about 42k on my first pass and probably 2/3 of the way through the story. This weekend I’ll be focusing on a breadcrumb reveal to a major turning point in the story, framing one character as a trauma driven monster, and another as a total psychopath. These reveals will all twist into the finale of the story bringing a multiple arcs to a sudden and destructive conclusion.
Betrayal plays a huge part in this twist. Trust, love and family torn apart by the past and the inevitability of suppressed traumas.
The protagonist notices she is now seen as a victim of her own past. At the same time, she realises that sharing these stories hasn’t brought her any closer to happiness in the past.
There’s a false friend who is slowly revealing themselves
I’m like 10,000 words behind target and really struggling to hash out the specifics of the plot. 😰
Just keep going! Surprise yourself.
