Almost there.

It's been a busy month. I'm working on the last couple of chapters to "Ridicule." I'm one of those writers who is never quite sure where the story is going to go. Ridicule has taken me off in different directions. I had an ending all laid out in my mind, and until this last chapter, I wasn't sure it would progress that way.

The hard part is coming up--edit...edit...and edit some more. The story builds until it becomes a thrill ride the last third of the book. My goal is to bring that intensity into the early part of the story.

The bad guy in my story is no one I ever want to meet, but his type is real, and that is what makes the story so intense. When you can write probable suspense vs pure action, I think it resonates more with the reader. If you turn out the light, and then turn them back on because you heard a noise...I did my job well!
