The hardest part of my random crappy sci-fi novel hobby project, is going to be the first half of the third act.

The first two acts were very well outlined ahead of time. This story idea has been bouncing around in my head for a long time, and so when it became time to write it, most of it flowed easily.

And the climax of the third act has also been pretty well figured out for just as long.

It's that late-middle part that's still kind of a black box. The first half of the third act. It's not that I have nothing planned there, but rather it's like I have three potential paths to choose from, and various combinations between those paths.

Going to have to put a lot of thought into that section to tie the whole piece together.

I wrote two endings and then reread holistically and saw how I slept on each versionโ€” choice was really clear. Thereโ€™s also other subconscious threads I didnโ€™t realize were there that just probabilistically emerged stronger from one vs another only after writing. Just my hobby experience anyway ๐Ÿค™
