Comments on Well, I did it! The scene that made me cringe.

Go to Life in the fast lane--where's the on ramp?Add a commentGo to Well, I did it! The scene that made me cringe.

question is are you controlling the story
or is the story controlling you. I guess a bit of both is a writer's life. Stephen King is one of my all time favorite writers. I always understood him, I can understand you too. Just as long as you keep stringing it along the road to completion.

I can see why this made you cringe - but the guys come-uppance will be that much sweeter...

My kind of story.
Keep at it Pat - there's nothing like a good revenge story to keep me, at least, riveted to the computer screen. Excellent!

Do you sometimes write stuff and wonder that you had it inside you to even
know about it and the appropriate words. and make it so real. Don't let this book do all its own writing .....delete that thought, it is going to be an absolute gem.

I'm not surprised--it's the direction the world is moving.  I can hardly stand to watch the news anymore.

to some degree, it sounds like the story is writing itself...

Rapists by definition are nasty characters, but the one you describe sounds really vicious. Seems as though you had a successful day's writing.
