What happened to the mysterious girl who appeared in chapter 9? Did she ever find out who that ruby belonged to?", etc.Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-73904293378378039852012-09-21T14:20:06.439-04:002012-09-21T14:20:06.439-04:00I'm chewing on an event like that in my next W...I'm chewing on an event like that in my next WIP. My assassin heroine is dispatched on her first hit, only to find it's a little kid. So she goes on the run rather than kill a kid. The story goes in other directions after that, but I'm wondering if the kid should come back into the story in a more meaningful fashion. (Except the kid is on Earth and most of the story takes place on another world called Tyrona.) Still pondering...Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-22672539956233674822012-09-21T13:35:55.405-04:002012-09-21T13:35:55.405-04:00That's a very good pointThat's a very good pointGaladrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993204559713347090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-6916373908101649842012-09-21T11:31:13.301-04:002012-09-21T11:31:13.301-04:00This is something I love as a reader and a writer....This is something I love as a reader and a writer. As a reader, it's wonderful when an author reintroduces characters that you thought you saw the last of. It recreates a feeling of intimacy and familiarity that pulls you deeper into the story.<br />As a writer, I love trying to figure out how to use characters I already have introduced in later scenes. I think it creates a tighter storyline! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747707902919037051noreply@blogger.com
