Update on act 3

Okay so I had this awesome deliverable for last week and it didn't publish! So I had to publish it today in addition to the one I'm supposed to post this week. Yay you get two in one day. 

So last night I finished chapter 13 of the novel. Let's just say Elsie is having an interesting time in France. Life is also about to get really rough for her. But if I told you why, it would ruin all surprises and someone could steal my idea and my life would be ruined and we can't have that. 

Instead, I'll talk about my own struggle because, let me tell you, it is real. Sometimes the things you think will be really good ideas are not that good. Sometimes they are but they aren't good enough. For me, I write out my outlines for chapters but once executed, they aren't long enough. I've had to do a lot of research on this really snazzy chateau in France, Azay-le-Rideau, where most of this act is set. 

Here, have a picture. 

I told you it's snazzy. More pictures are available on my Pinterest storyboard, found in the links section of my blog. 

Not enough material is one issue. Writers block is another. Usually, I write through my writers block and go back and spiff up what I've written once I've got inspiration. This makes the chapters longer, solving two problems at once. 

Tonight, I'll be starting chapter 14, where things actually get intense. I'm excited. You should be too. 

Anyway that's all for now. Thanks again for reading.
