Ah. The complicated, twisted intricacies of a detective novel. Arrrgh!!! Just when I think I have the climax finally figured out for my book, Spider’s Truth, some thread from the beginning hangs from the tapestry and I realize I missed a loose end.
(Sigh…)
I supposed this comes from the fact that when I write, I don’t know how the story is going to end. It makes it much more interesting for me when I’m writing, but sure can back me into a corner post haste! However, I won’t let this deter me, and I can still say with confidence that Spider’s Truth is almost complete–just working out the kinks.
To read a quick summary, click on the “Detective Fiction” tab at the top of the page. And don’t forget, fill out my Science Fiction/ Fantasy movie and book poll that I posted on November 11th. The results will be posted at the end of this year. They may surprise you!!
Learning your story as you write is the sign of a great writer. I’m sure you’ll figure out the solution to your loose end and the story will be all the better for the snag.
Thanks Holly!
I know you know how I would like it to end, but I suppose “everybody dies” won’t work if it turns out to be a series. But as an eternal optimist, I am sure “the end will come!”
Now I want to know what the loose end is 🙂
I’ll tell you after you read the whole thing. 🙂 I don’t want to give anything away!
i love your postings. i think they’re a good example of how you write, and are thoughtful and creative. keep up the good work!
