Some Sentences, Nov. 16 – Boom!

Nov. 16, 2016 – I’ve been reworking the ending of Book 5 for a couple of weeks now. Because ya gotta stick the landing. A bookseller once gave me great advice when she noted that she reads far too many books with kickass beginnings, but with endings that feel like the writer just wanted to get the damn thing over with, already. (Believe me, I sympathize.) That was reinforced recently when I read a book by one of my favorite authors – the last couple of chapters were mostly extended passages of dialogue. Really disappointing. I can’t let Lola down. That girl has to land on her feet, not even a hint of a bobble.
