I just figured out what’s going to happen at the very end of Bloodshifted. I knew, to some degree, what would happen, but not how — and it just leapt out and bit me.
It’s huge and it’s scary, and I can’t believe I didn’t see until just now how the entire theme and tone of the book was building towards this one precise moment. I’m going to take the rest of the night off to think about the implications of it for future books, because lordy are there going to be some, but but but, it is going to be so cool.
The fact that I’m scared of it means it’s the right thing to do. Right? Right :D
Totally the right thing. I mean, heck, if it scares you when you know it’s coming (whether or not its a bogeyman type of fear or watching a train-wreck sort of thing), imagine how it will be for us when we read it for the first time? I’ve cracked my husband up a number of times by standing up from the computer, pacing around and finally asking him, “Do you think this is too harsh/mean/awful?”
