Update: I think I've picked the main potential path for the first half of Act 3, which was the least-outlined part between sections I had more firmly mapped out.

I need to flesh it out more, but there's progress here.

And a minor spoiler is that I had a more action path and a more emotional path for this portion, I decided on the emotional path. There's no shortage of action before and after, and this emotion is worth it to flesh out here.

The hardest part of my random crappy sci-fi novel hobby project, is going to be the first half of the third act.

The first two acts were very well outlined ahead of time. This story idea has been bouncing around in my head for a long time, and so when it became time to write it, most of it flowed easily.

And the climax of the third act has also been pretty well figured out for just as long.

It's that late-middle part that's still kind of a black box. The first half of the third act. It's not that I have nothing planned there, but rather it's like I have three potential paths to choose from, and various combinations between those paths.

Going to have to put a lot of thought into that section to tie the whole piece together.
