Well finally broke 100 pages and got some good violence as well as some big parts of the story. However now that I have stopped for a day or so I feel like that last chapter I had finished was not good enough. It feels wrong.
Let me explain.
There is a scene in my original version of the book that easily made a transition for one of the 3 big twists. Unfortunately the way I have written the character this time around this scene is no longer going to be used. This also means I am deleting a minor character; a troll named Lyen who was originally supposed to re-appear in the 3rd book but he no longer has a part so he's gone.
So now the twist...This is a hard scene. I've gotten to the point where I've hinted that there is something more than going on than I am letting on at the moment, but the huge scene that I had created...well its not able to return. So this means the whole section before the final climatic of my book...will have to be from scratch
*runs hands through mane* This is hard for me. It's been ages since I wrote something new in my book; especially for this one which has always followed a certain, strict timeline.
So I am deleting my last chapter. I would also like to ask some questions to my friends here.
My books revolve around the concept of Realms. Each realm has different attributes and feelings. Some are your typical fantasy, some steam punk style, some modern, futuristic, etc etc.
This realm I am writing about is basically in a 13th century/LOTR fantasy time period but there are modern-ish twists which basically revolve around how people speak and act; such as the knowledge of how to handle a crime scene and whatnot (kinda like Crane from Sleepy Hollow movie).
Well I ask you guys this: One of these characters, Kiger actually, introduced to the city the concept of pipes and water pressure. A primitive version but still one that works enough to build showers and baths inside the castle and guilds and other places that can afford it. In my book this introduction of a water system allows for the foundation of a sewer system/pipes to the major guilds. Some of these pipes are large enough to walk through which is a basis of an invasion 2 characters undertake to a rival guild.
Is this concept for this setting too far-fetched for anyone? These are not plastic pipes but stone and concrete.
Let me explain.

And I don't think in this context any idea could be too far-fetched.
