Your first snippet of Book Three
So I actually put the first real strung-together words of book three together, as opposed to outlining. I count the book process as beginning with the outlining, and that started earlier this week, but here are the very first words I've written of what will eventually become book three. Edit: I realized too late there's a major spoiler for book 2 in this, so I'm spoilering it:
Temmin stripped off his gray half-mourning gloves and coat, piling them into Wallek's arms. Would that he could strip his grief away so easily, but if he gave himself time to think on it, he clung to it more than it clung to him. Consequently, he didn't give himself much time to think on it.
"Your Highness, is this necesssary?" murmured Wallek. "You're both drunk--"
"I am as sober as Pagg," said Temmin.
"I'm just sayin this whole thing seems pointless! He said…well, he said somethin I really don' wanna repeat."
So there's that.
Keep in mind that this is the draftiest of drafts. This scene mightn't even remain in the book. But those are the first official words I've written, and I wanted to share them with you.

Interesting times...
Okay, so part of my mind's wondering what the other guy said that was so bad, but most of my brain's still boggling over Fen Wallek, the prospect of a fight, and the words "unnecessary" and "pointless" all being in the same vicinity of each other.
Color me very intrigued.
Oooooooooh.......
I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!
*throws lacy white glove in your face*
Have you ever been so happy that you felt like you might burst open at the seams and your guts would spill out of your stomach onto the floor but from your steaming bowels a tiny sparrow would emerge and sing the sweetest song you had ever heard?
**** dead?
The differences between the "horrible drafts" and the finished book continue to surprise me.
At least I'm fairly confident that Temmin survives, as it would be very difficult to continue the story with him dead!
Also, agreeing with Whimbrel about Wallek.

Please, Mei, may I have some more.

how soon?
If you can tell us, how soon after Book Two ends does Book Three begin? Because...whoa!
I don't think you're crazy. I think you're colorful. The kind of colorful that does well with medication!
My wish list
there's a hint
...in what he's wearing.
That took some Googling...
... and a couple of not completely unreasonable assumptions. But my guess would be about three spokes after the end of book two, so some time in Fall's Ending 992 KY or maybe early Winter's Beginning 993 KY.
Early Winter's Beginning
Yep, you got it right. The rest of this chapter is outlined now. ^_^
yes..
..and??
