So, I did sit down and rework my previously-mentioned problem chapter of "Balms & Sears." There were two moments in there that I felt went too far, and I felt it improved the ending of the book if I nipped them in the bud.
The
thing is, in real life, good people occasionally do bad things, and
there are at least a few bad people out there that sometimes do
something good (harder to quantify, I know). But in fiction, because
these characters (for good or ill) are all me, I can change my mind, and
make things blacker and whiter. Ultimately, I had this niggling feeling that it was a problem, and I feel better making that change.
Part of the problem is, I've never written a book this big before
(unlikely that I will again), and I don't know what I'm doing. Even
now, I worry that it's not all that good, but hey, I've worked harder on
"Balms & Sears" than I have on any previous work, so I'm going to
finish it and put it out there. And then you can be the ultimate judge.
I asked A.I. to create me the image of Superman lifting up a schoolbus, and I got this. |
