...Fantastic news about the job! Gainfully employed!<br /><br />As for your weird scene, I think I got the gist (X? R?), but go for it anyways. As for coming up with weird scenes, I have come up with numerous. Even fleshed one them out to about 1/3 of a very disturbing novel. Haven't worked on it because, well, it's disturbing.<br /><br /><a href="http://gbmjrflashy.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Father Nature's Corner</a>G. B.

That is awesome news. :)<br /><br />I think some people have texted family and friends while something...else...is going on. lol I think that scene would actually be perfect for your story. And it does sound like it would be funny...even memorable. I would write it. If anything, beta readers and your editor can let you know what they think of it. For now, write it!Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-82106669339407225022015-11-09T12:13:08.479-05:002015-11-09T12:13:08.479-05:00Congrats on the new job :)!

At the end of the day, if it doesn't fit, you can just cut it out or rewrite it :). The climax of the book I'm writing at the moment is really dark, and I'm starting to wonder whether or not I should keep it as it may be a tad *too* dark for YA...but I'm going to write it anyway and just see what happens :).Rachel Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848131947437970731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-33186309585255813142015-11-09T12:11:07.365-05:002015-11-09T12:11:07.365-05:00Awesome news about the job!
