Working on chapter 26. I like to be unconventional so the next chapter introduces a new main character POV for pretty much the rest of the novel.

On chapter 33. I think I finally figured out the ending.

Only nine chapters afforded themselves to the female perspective. (Eleven if you count the two dispersed in the beginning) Back to the main male character point of view.
Oh, yeah, on chapter 36.

On chapter 38.
It's taking a different turn than I expected, but it's good for expanding the novel.

Wrote three chapters tonight. That's the most I've written in a single night in some time.

On chapter 45. Nearing the end of the novel.
When I'm done with this one, not sure if I'm in the mood to write anything else. Three novels, 150k words total, is quite an accomplishment for a six month stretch.

I wasn't planning on writing anything else right now, but I've got something in mind.
An alternate earth Victorian timeline called the Age of Vykteur.
The title of the book is The Queer Brotherhood. Where the people have not yet conceived of the term's secondary meaning as homosexual. Back to first person perspective, because I'm just not a fan of third person. The main character is gay, while the secondary character is straight. The secondary character gets recruited to join the brotherhood, and at first he thinks it's just a weird organization. And he wants something different in his college experience than just what being Mr. Popularity offers. Basically, a straight to gay story where he learns he was never really straight.
I might change the college concept, because it's so cliche.

Been doing a great deal of writing these past few months.
Wrote three books. Not sure if I want to write anymore just yet. These three books do share some characters, but overall they're stand-alone novels.
In order of how I wrote them:
Sapience
Alternative Alpha
Their Nature

Been going through my mind what I want to write next. But sometimes I can start writing without the plot being fully formed. I have a general idea about what I want to include, just not how to start the first chapter.
I've already ventured into dystopia with Sapience, but it's been floating in my mind for years to do a post-apocalyptic one.
