I’ve been working on Patience is a Virtue today and am just finishing up chapter six. This book is plotted out to be 20 chapters, so I’m a little over 1/4 of the way through the draft. As I’ve noted before, this will make it the longest Robot book in the series, and just from my own perspective, I think it’s the best one so far.
I jump back into it yesterday, making yesterday only the second day since the beginning of the year that I’ve met my New Year’s resolution writing goal.
As I’ve noted before, this book is much more from Patience’s point of view than the previous books. I hope this makes it fresher. It certainly makes it fun to write, as Patience, while not your typical robot, nevertheless does view humanity as a somewhat mechanical outsider. Over the next few days, I’ll share some of what I’ve got cooking in the book so far.
