I wrote nearly 3 pages of the summary chapter today. God, it was tedious. Like pulling teeth. Sitting over the novel and tormenting my brains: this should go into the story, no, this is not necessary, but yes, otherwise it won't make any sense for those not familiar with the novel, rubbish, the ones who know it would die of boredom... and so forth. The day I finish this sucker I'll open a bottle of champagne or whatnot. Er. Yes. Sorry for the whining.
Excerpt:
“You do not believe he has truly changed,” Cuhelyn said. It was not a question but Hywel nodded nonetheless.
“Do you?” he asked back.
Cuhelyn shook his head. “No; but I am hardly impartial when it comes to him. Your father may have extracted a price for Anarawd’s death through your hand, but that means not that I have forgotten – or forgiven – on whose behalf my lord was murdered. Neither can I believe that a land-hungry prince who has already betrayed his own people out of greed would change his heart all of a sudden.”
“And rightly so,” Hywel agreed. “I am certain that he believes he can manipulate Father into solving the problem for him again, as he had done so too often in the past. I fear we have not seen the last of him yet.”
