Abigail's Dragon: Chapter Six
Sep. 25th, 2006 01:14 pmChapter Six of Abigail's Dragon is one of the most important chapters in the book. To use a Star Wars analogy, this chapter is the "Escape from the Death Star" scene. The Big Bad is shown to the hero in the flesh for the first time. This time the hero is a 13 year old girl and somehow she still manages to whine less than Luke. This chapter is the hinge chapter. It is the pay-off for the first half of the book and if you don't believe this chapter, then the rest of the story will fall flat.
One of the things I did that I found fun was that one of the "sidekicks" has the special gift that is usually reserved for the hero in a story.
Despite the tension in this chapter, I still managed to amuse at least myself. I based one of the characters on my Aunt Jan's mother-in-law.
