To Kill or Not To Kill
Hello all:
I don't know how many of you have been following along with the series Taming The Golden Boys of Central High but as you may know I've been slowly trying to push out the 3rd volume in the series.
I thought I was suffering from a case of the lazies or even writer's block; but... but... but... the truth of the matter is I've been trying to resolve within myself the possibility of having to kill off one of the central characters.
Yup it sucks cuz it's one of my favorite characters and one of my favorite couples no less. I won't say if it's a she or a he but someone in the next series will possible die; but will definitely end up in a long, long, long coma. I think it's the only way I can reconcile with myself to finish the story.
Yea I got a lot of flack from my readers of about the unhappy ending of The Princess & The Thug. There was so much hate mail generated that I had to write an alternate ending which has been well received. And I've said it before I am always amazed at the mail I received about that ending, considering the way their story starts. But it makes me feel good as a writer to know that my writing overcomes the beginning and the readers get lost inside of the story and beginning living and breathing with the characters' journey.
Yes, I've started Taming The Golden Boys of Central High: The College Years. I haven't been posting it to my Booksie account, because I live in fear of writer's block. For me as a reader I hate to get engrossed in a story only to have it stuck in hiatus or worse never finished (the very thing is happening to me with another writer's story. I've been waiting since last December for her to put up another part to a very good story I had been following along).
So the question is to kill or not to kill? Hmm that is the question and I guess you will just have to wait and see if she/ or he dies or just lay in a temporary coma for a few months or years.
Thanks for following the series and I hope to have the story up and posted before summer.
