Just reread the previous blog entry, and had to resist the urge to edit for small things. Always a temptation. I’ve finished the read through of the first five hundred plus pages of DANSE MACABRE. There’s nothing wrong with it. It just isn’t the book I’d planned on. But it isn’t the first time that Anita and the gang have high-jacked a book. It probably won’t be the last. I think I just vastly underestimated how many new characters I had to introduce, and how many old characters we needed to explore further. I’ve promised myself that next book will be mostly violence and mystery, but this book is mostly politics, metaphysics, emotional issues, and sex. I’ve put the two chapters where Edward and Anita interact in a folder marked chapters two and three of Anita book 14. I’ve mapped out the end of DANSE MACABRE, but the map for the party at the end is basically just, party at the end. As I wrote earlier, I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve set it in motion, but it all depends on so many things, like the free will of the characters. Their choices will effect too much for me to plan. Exciting, and scary, from a writer’s point of view.
