Action AND Adventure
So, with the first full draft of Titan:City Under Siege complete I will be moving on to the editing and re-write stage in January. With "The Midnight Hour" I felt very comfortable with the pace and flow of the story as I wrote it. All of the edits were largely for minor story facets, some of which simply impacted the whole story and had to be followed throughout the manuscript. However, I never felt uneasy about balancing the action with the character development. "City Under Siege" it had a very different flow to it and I found myself questioning the balance. I do think overall it is a very strong book, even stronger than the first, but I am very curious to see what others think, I guess I will find out during editing. I am just a natural self doubter, I questioned "The Midnight Hour relentlessly until I got validation from editrs and outside sources . This book started feeling very similar to the first in flow until chapter 11 then through to chapter 15 it very much took on a life of its own. The climax simply kept building and building. Those chapters, 11 through 15, are pure action adventure chapters, the kind of adventure I wanted for Titan from the start. If its a roler coaster ride you want to go on with Titan then "City Under Siege" will be for you.
