desperance...and snatching a quick walk this morning, thinking through what more I have to do, I ought I hope to finish this chapter tonight; and then there's only a couple more and we're done. And all of those will be plot-heavy and hectic (and so fairly swift to write), which will come as no news to any of my readers because this is the shape of all my books: that they start slow and quiet, and then build and build, and it's all tension and weight and moment building behind a wall, and then the wall gives way and everything happens at once.
It's how I used to play chess too, in the days when I still did. I always preferred openings to endgames, the slow relentless acquisition of position before the flood of force. You can see this in my reading too, the books or series I've never quite bothered to finish; and in my TV watching of course (I've said before, I've never seen the ends to either Buffy or Babylon 5, tho' I love them both).
