Whither Part 3?


Up to this point, my novel is progressing well with a two-part division of seven chapters each. An ideal scenario would be to produce a third division comprising another seven chapters. It called to mind the Three Act Structure, also known as the king of story structure, which many successful novels employed.

Two questions naturally comes to mind:

1. What shall I name Part 3?
2. How is it going to lead the story to its intended end?

Since I have the intention of bringing Viper into focus, I thought it would be good to name Part 3: VIPER. The tagline of my narrative being "a love that transcends the metaphysical realm" so I need to gel the idea of David and Viper's love story with HAVAH's sentience to produce a transcendent and dramatic ending. And I really want to take character development for some of the STRATOS members into consideration as well. Of course, that's easier said than done.

In the end, I'm minded to take one chapter at a time and see how it works out along the way. Having a few wild ideas running rampant in my brain can be quite distracting, or counter-productive at best.
