I have been working on STRYMON for four months now almost every day. The story has expanded as I continue to write it. I am finding that it is difficult to keep up with it. I am having to refer back to the earlier parts in an effort to keep it all straight. It is also difficult as it is a parallel story to the previous books and I am not confident about how much to repeat and when to summarize instead of retelling. This is complicated by the fact that the book should be stand-alone for those not reading the series. Anyway, today is just venting, and I will get this first draft done sooner or later. Then I can make changes as necessary in future drafts.
