Well, I’ve finally heard back from the forensic psychologist who’s been helping me with the profile for the Snake. You know what that means? It means I can continue on with writing Snake, and maybe even finish the darn thing by the end of the year!
Snake is a fun story to write, and the Snake himself is a piece of work, a really fun character to work with. Mentally diseased he is, but he certainly can win sympathy from an audience once they know what he’s doing and why he’s doing it. I’m not saying what he’s doing is good, though. Far from it, actually. Vigilante justice is a horrible kind of justice, but since this is fiction right and wrong can be blurred somewhat and even switched around for the enjoyment of the reader, so who cares?
Anyway, I’m pretty sure this upcoming chapter will have the seventy-seventh Microsoft Word page of Snake, meaning I can do a Lucky 7 excerpt. If so, I hope you enjoy reading it and maybe get a little chill. As my new tagline only makes it so clear, it’s my job to scare you.
Does it work? π π π
this is the strangest comment i’ve ever gotten, but yes, it works.
I aim to please.
and pleased you have.
I enjoyed talking to you on my blog tonight, so I thought I’d stop by and check out yours. You seem to have a good grasp of storytelling, which amazes me — it took me my whole life to learn what you already have. Best of luck with your writing career.
thanks so much! and it’s not that magnificent; it took me basically 14 years, from the time I was five, to learn to write this well, and my career’s only just starting to get off the ground.
