Now I think of it
May. 10th, 2011 03:39 pmWhat I probably should have put in my writerly ways, a miniscule cry for help.
In my YA werewolf/seer story, I was supposed to kill off one of the twins, Ben's girlfriend. There was going to be a few drama llamas between Ben and the main male character, Killian, over this since Killian is inextricably linked to the killings and of course, the drama of killing off a minor character.
However, this was supposed to happen way earlier in the series but didn't. It just didn't work out right. I could do it now but honestly, I could practically end this novel in two more chapters. I'm not sure what to do. Do I give her a pass? Maybe she escapes the evil lifeforce vampire. Maybe she never meets her at all.
Or do I kill her and try to cram all that emotion in at the end. Or does that feel gratitious? Do I overinflate almost final chapters and drag out something that could concievably end in 25 pages or less at this point?
