So yes. The first two chapters (of thirty-one) of The Process of Belief are up at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
edencycle and already I see a problem.
It seems I may have completely skipped writing Act I of the book, as it were.
Chapter 1, while good as an opening, doesn't work correctly. Great opening scene, but it doesn't fit, mainly because it's a scene using minor characters instead of a main one--in this case, Denni, who picks up halfway through. I do like the Katelyn/Elise scene, but it needs to be replaced with something more important and focused on major characters instead.
And Chapter 2? Great "battle" scene, but it's definitely the wrong place for it. There should at least be a good four to six chapters BUILDING UP to this scene. With the first two books having quite a lot of character building and a slow-but-consistent build of action, starting this one off with nothing BUT action just seems a bit...misdirected, perhaps.
We'll see where the next chapters go so I can build from there.
