Ramblings of a frustrated writer

So yesterday I was driving along (in 25 degree car with a broken heater. Stinks.) and I suddenly had an epiphany about my book. I figured out why nothing made sense and why it didn’t flow and why the plot felt empty…

NO I’m not going to tell you what it was! It would ruin the whole ten-part series!!!! silly followers…

Anyway. I sat down at the computer and started working the theme in. See it was like this: I felt like I had something missing in the book but I wasn’t sure what it was. It was like when you’re reading and you think “Ok there’s an underlying plot here that I haven’t figured out. A bigger picture. When do I find it?” but then you never find it… until the third book… and that always seemed off to me. So I finally figured out what the underlying theme was… and how it relates to the other books… Now I have to work it in.

When will I publish? probably never. I’ll never be done with this series. Lindsay and Michael and Brett always have more to tell me, always have another adventure. It’s so complicated that there’s always something else. I won’t stop messing with it until I die. So will someone please publish it when I’m dead? I won’t be able to go back and mess with it when I’m in Heaven… Thanks, I appreciate it ;)

Love your frustrated would-be writer…
