Oh no! I think the post is wonky, Susan. But I love that FOCUS picture.
Have a wonderful weekend. :)
I like to kill off a character and use that moment to make a left turn in the plot when the reader thinks I'm going right. Then escalate matters. I find this works for me.
Hi Janna -
Wonky? I'll have to go back and check the post. Did you have problems with the link?

Susan
Hi Stephen -
Killing off a character will certainly make the reader sit up and take notice. Thanks for the tip.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Stephen's answer made me laugh - killing off a character certainly mixes things up! I try to think "What's the worst thing that could happen now?" and then do that :)
part of the post didn't show but wanted to wish you a good weekend:)
I'm eager to hear what answers are given because, if we figure it out for a story, then it's probably safe to say it'll help me with the process of aging, too :)
Blessings,
Kathleen
P.S. I love it when suspense is built in ... be it a story, or my life.
P.S.S. If this posted twice, it's because me and my security word got separated and I wasn't sure it got through.
Hi Jemi -
I guess you and Stephen share the same philosophy. :)

Hi Kathleen -
LOL! Right there with ya!
I like suspense in my stories as well. Nothing will put me to sleep faster than a book with no conflict.
Blessings,
Susan :)
On my way to Kathryn's. Thanks for the link--I always need new ideas for focusing.
Love,
Jen
