*Looks around speculatively*
Wow it looks like there are actually of lot of us trying this novel thing....that's a little worrying.
Anyway when I started writing I tried to start it at different points, like I started at the start and at about half-way through and at three quarters the way through my saga so that whenever I ran into a block, I could skip to another thread until it came back.
What I didn't expect was to hit 3-5 writing blocks at the same time...which means I'm just sitting here floundering, wondering why anyone would read this.
Has anyone else found that they can keep making up new places for their character/story to go? I mean this would be escpecially so for sci-fi fantasy because you have to set your own boundaries there, but one of my characters is zig-zagging through time (in my head as I'm not that far on paper yet)....how do you draw a line and say "this far and no further"?
And another thing, whenever I watch a movie or read a book these days it's obvious from about half-way through how it's going to end, because everyone gets their just desserts etc. Does this mean to shake predictability you have to shake moral endings? Maybe I should kill off one of my nice characters, or have a daemon turn good only to be killed out of misunderstanding...
I doubt anyone's bothered to read this far down the page of my rambling but if you have, cheers, and do you have the answers I'm looking for??????
