I’ve got about three pages left in the new chapter 6, and then I’m pretty sure that there’s going to be a new chapter 7 before the events of the old chapter 6.

I’m still struggling a little with getting that direct conflict in there… my characters are feeling a little nonconfrontational and are easily distracted. I’m about to just lock them in a room and make them yell at each other. Stop asking questions and get some answers!
