    It sometimes does help to attack the story from a different direction.


if nothing else, it forces the audience to wake up and take a look around to understand what's happening now.

I sometimes use the new persepctive angle for big combat situations too. If I'm struggling to describe forty superheroes and villains beating each other up, perhaps I can manage it from the POV of the schoolkid trapped on the bus in the middle of it all?

I know the feeling. I've written a couple of a million words since I last did an Untold Tale!

I think he's at his strongest doing Library-related business, e.g. reclaiming overdue books/fines, rescuing a rare volume from destruction, helping out somebody with their research project.

And after all this time I still don't think you've developed an untimate villain for him.

    It's more do with do I have the drive/ideas to get stuff out for people to read. Plus, I've been known to be distracted by other stuff so writing might take a backseat.





If you write for fun then do what you enjoy most.

By the way, I finally got my ailing e-mail system to send a reply off to you tonight - I hope. Tell me via the board if you don't get it.
