And if you think it'll work, it will - because you're the only one with ALL the info about the plot across all of the books. I love it when a solution pops into my head like that - it's exciting!

I actually have a huge problem with authors that hint and allude to things for several hundred pages and by the time they finally get to 'the big reveal' it's lost all its momentum because you figured it out a long time ago and nothing else is going on because they were counting on that 'tension' to keep a reader hooked. So good for you! Don't hold something back just for the sake of holding it back. If it works in book two then that's where it belongs.S.P.

Maybe I do it unconsciously through my storytelling, but mine are more as the plot develops and the reader learns more and the twists and struggles of the main characters.<br /><br />I'm very glad you're moving forward and making progress. I agree in that going back and reworking and adding more work to get an old result isn't a direction that is normally best to take.<br /><br />Keep on moving forward!Terry W.

I wasn't going to mention what the reveal was until the MC figures it out, but I realized the people in the prologue already know. So I've decided to go ahead and tell the reader the reveal, and they'll have to see how and when the MC will find out and how it'll affect her world.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-41351325086759189932014-06-02T23:40:45.322+02:002014-06-02T23:40:45.322+02:00Sounds like a plan!!Sounds like a plan!!Traci Kenworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336373871521363649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-34848169430981957182014-06-02T21:01:07.851+02:002014-06-02T21:01:07.851+02:00Yay!
