That one was a real slog. I must have rewritten chunks of Chapter Three at least a dozen times. Getting the tone, the content, and the characters right, especially on the safeword conversation, without painting myself into a corner for future chapters, took a ton of work. Props to my (offline, anonymous) beta reader for their assistance on that front.
Meanwhile, Chapter Four has finally started to take shape. I had almost as much trouble getting started on this one as I did on Chapter Three, but the two chapters are pretty tightly linked so I guess that's not that much of a surprise. Anyway, Chapter Four is ostensibly the climax (hurr hurr) of the story, so I expect I'll spend some extra time with it.
I'm getting the feeling I'll want to work on something lighter (and shorter) once I'm done with CWYWF. Or maybe I'll give myself a break after Chapter Four is done and work on something else instead. It might be fun to do some more worldbuilding in the Golems universe...
