The next chapters describe Keating’s easy rise through a bignamearchitecture firm, contrasting his experience to Roark’s low-payingjob with a washed-up master whose buildings he admires. Rand carefullyinterwove the careers of Roark and Keating, showing that Keatingmust rely on Roark to help <strong>com</strong>plete his major <strong>com</strong>missions. She alsolaid out the explosive sexual dynamics between Dominique and Roark.The bulk of the novel, however, remained unwritten.In the next twelve months Rand raced through the rest of the story.Bobbs-Merrill gave her a year to <strong>com</strong>plete the manuscript, and this timeRand wasn’t taking any chances. She had exhausted the reputable NewYork publishers and knew that if this contract fell through the bookwould never be published. Adding additional pressure was the fact thatRand still bore the primary financial burden in her marriage. Like somany men during the Depression era, Frank had been unable to findsteady employment. He took the occasional odd job, at one point workingas a clerk in a cigar store, but his in<strong>com</strong>e was never enough to supporta household. Nor was Rand’s thousand-dollar advance enough forher and Frank to live on, so she arranged to continue working on weekendsfor Paramount. The stress was considerable. Between writing andreading for Paramount, she was working virtually nonstop.Rand now lived in two universes. Within The Fountainhead Roarkcontinued his uneven career and his refusal to <strong>com</strong>promise for clients,while Keating’s dizzying rise was topped by his marriage to Dominique,the daughter of his firm’s founder. Rand’s archvillain, Ellsworth Toohey,the focus of the book’s second section, slowly wrapped his collectivisttentacles around the Wynand papers. Gail Wynand himself became disillusionedwith his media empire, stole Dominique away from Peter, andbefriended Roark. Back in the real world Rand kept impossible hoursto meet her imminent deadline.

She and Rand spurred each other on in afriendly contest, each hoping to finish first. Their jokes about <strong>com</strong>petitionmade light of how deeply intertwined their creative processes truly were.Writing in tandem the two women shared ideas and inspiration freely.
