Chapter Eleven: Fires in the Night

And yes, that is a vague reference to the Genesis song: Land of Confusion. Funny story, I actually have a vague, dreamlike hope of eventually seeing some sort of video being made to that song using either the panels from Tijervyn or scenes from the eventual super awesome HBO series (yeah, I dream big).

Anyway, as the title suggestions, we are now halfway through Vol. One. How you liking it so far? As I’ve mentioned before, somewhere, I am doing something new outline wise with Tijervyn as opposed to my usual process. See, typically, I always have a very hard outline with all the foreshadowing detailed, world-building pre-laid out, and character growth even commented on so I can know how to take conversations. With Tijervyn, I was unsure of whether or not I would have the event that happened at the end of today’s chapter, let alone when it would happen. It just kind of fell into place.

That said, I do know this is halfway through volume one. After writing this chapter, I kind of decided I had enough on my plate for this chapter and wrote up an outline that will tie up the plot threads I want tied up by Volume One’s end and leave the openings I want open for Volume Two. I’m still being really vague about it, though, and I think I left enough leeway to move the story if the characters demand it.

Anyway, shorter chapter, and shorter news post too.
