Hello, Writers!
My reading this week, I finished Stephen King's latest novel, Billy Summers. This is one of King's better offerings of late (IMHO), although it also feels like it's two separate books. There's a clear completion of a story arc and then a whole new arc begins with the introduction of a new major character halfway through the novel. I love that he breaks "rules."
Thanks to the Henderson Library in Nevada for inviting me back for Fiction Writing Through Prompts for the Creating Writing @ Your Library series. There are still 5 sessions left and registration is free: click the link and register in advance. The next session is Tuesday, September 28th.
