next chapter
Apr. 3rd, 2008 10:37 pmGot the next chapter typed and sent. Got one freakout already. It's interesting; anyone who knows me, has been expecting this for some time, but people who don't, don't seem to see this coming. (I'm beating around the bush because there's at least 1 person on my friends list who doesn't know...or maybe she does and I'm fooling myself, I couldn't say.)
But the part I was most worried about was the action, and whether it did a decent job of building up to the climax, and that seems to have gone over well. I've never felt like I was good at action, but I haven't written that much of it over the last few years. I've worked so hard on character development and dialogue, all of a sudden I have to write action and I look at it clueless. And even though I seem to be doing ok, I'm not sure what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong, and critiques tend to focus so much on character development and plot. Ah well, I'll get the hang of it. reread my favourite authors and chack how they do it.
