22: A Lot Yet to Do
11/17/2011
Finished Chapter Three: The Fever. Took two weeks and 11,322 words. That makes it the longest so far. I think it will require less rewrites than the others so far though. The last scene got a good glimpse at the strained relationship between Diallo and Mosai. Nothing else though that wasn’t planned for.
Present-Day Reflection

When this “chapter” was written, there was still a lot that was undeveloped. The Fever would become Part Four eventually, where every scene would become its own chapter. In addition, nine more chapters and two fables would be included. Just as I would eventually expand the other three Parts, which back then I called chapters.
The “strained” relationship between Diallo and Mosai got well established in these fleshing out chapters. So, by the time we get to the end of The Fever – which is also the end of Book One: Wings of Providence – the chapter with Diallo and Mosai becomes rather poignant.
