I just finished the third draft of my latest novel. I believe it is quite clean and ready for the eyes of family members and friends. While reading it this time, I realized that I had organized the book in strange way. I knew I gave it multiple climaxes. That was on purpose. What I didn’t realize was that each one was a different kind of climax. First comes to the action climax. Then comes the emotional climax. Lastly comes to the story’s climax. Each one has its own purpose.
I am very happy with the progress I have made on this novel–considering I’ve only really been working on it for three months or so. I can’t wait to have someone else read it. I’ll focus on something else tomorrow (probably the memory challenge). After than, I am taking a road trip to see and old friend halfway across Colorado (I’m thinking about taking the long way past Colorado Springs to see how bad the fire is). Until then!
Much Love,
Richard
I believe this is known as the Return of the King effect.
