Three timelines suck

pjthompsonWho the hell was it had the bright idea of telling my story in three timelines??? Oh right, that would be me. I'm kicking myself now (and boy, are my legs tired).
The problem with three timelines is that you've got three climaxes, and everyone's got to climax together--and we all know that can be tough. Not only that, but I've got three codas to write, and those can't drag out too long or they deflate the frigging climaxes. Bwaah!
I just spent the morning restructuring the outline I did for the concluding chapters of Night Warrior, and I guess I've got something that will work. The proof is in the writing, of course, which I am pushing forward with. But...
I got a bad feeling about this, Abbott.
Who's on first?
