I’m in the same position I was in while drafting the first book: I thought I’d get my protagonists into a restaurant by chapter five, but that ended up becoming the climax of the whole novel around chapter twenty. I’ve been trying to build to a certain scene I thought would happen around chapter four of book two, and I’m just getting to it in chapter sixteen.
