WARNING!!! Plot Hole Ahead

Last week I was exceptionally pleased with myself. I finished the outline for book three and jumped right in and penned four chapters of the first storyline. Then it happened, I hit a Plot Hole. Not one of those gentle bumps mind you. Oh no, this is one of those the earth opened up and swallow the car whole kind of holes. Fortunately I can use what I have written so far, but am headed back to the plot drawing board. If the first two books were any indication, this won’t be the last time either. That’s just how this all works, it is such an iterative process.

Believe it or not, this is the fun part of writing for me. Word smithing is not much fun, final proofing totally blows, and promoting the novel once finished is something created by satin himself. Working through plot holes is just good fun. It’s like solving that Expert Sudoku puzzle that just taunts you. The answer is there, you just need to use your mind and put it all together the right way.

Bring it on Plot. You sucker punched me in the jaw so now it’s time to fight dirty.
