Quickly, before I go shuffle papers for 7.5 hours:
Yesterday I went to my favorite place to write outside of my home office - The Owl Cafe - and worked on Black Doves for a couple hours. It wasn't much time, but I did manage to get quite a bit done. And by that I mean, I pushed through the act wall.
Since this is a novel, not a screenplay, I have had to impose act breaks because that's how I think (having written screenplays, everything in life is broken into 3 acts). But a novel requires more than 3 acts. The book really has two halves, and each half is roughly broken into 5 acts. I'm pretty sure I'm in the fourth act of the second half.
Hopefully my editor isn't reading this with his face in his palm.
