Hey everybody, it’s me.

Hey everybody, it’s me. Incubus Dreams is finally in the end game, which means I am writing as hard as I can. Making notes, trying to make sure all the clues work, that the red herrings are as scarlet as possible. The end game is both one of the most fun parts of any book and the scariest for me, because here is where I find out whether the plot, the mystery, the personal interactions, work, or don’t work. This is the moment when you find out if that scene on page 111 (Just made up number don’t have time to check what page numbers I’m really concerned about) worked or whether it was a trip down the rabbit hole. Rabbit holes were first described to me by two fine writers Emma Bull and Will Shetterly, check out their stuff. I maybe using rabbit hole in a slightly different way than they did, but to me, it’s a thread of plot or character that distracts you and takes you where you don’t want to be, or don’t need to be. It takes you to a part of Wonderland that you don’t need to visit, maybe ever, but certainly not in this book. I’m off now to see if I’m chasing rabbits, or if the hounds are truly in full cry. bye for now.
