For those of you who remain, here’s a spot of homespun literary theory
for you. (Again, the exits are well-marked. No need to crowd. *smirks*)
As The Hushing Days continues to move on at a steady clip of 800 words
a day, I’ve noticed something of interest of late. I thought I’d share and let
you decide whether it’s just more Chloe hogwash or perhaps something a tad bit
useful.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on the “minor” characters orbiting the
big six (the three chief love affairs in the novel). As this is a story
centered on one family of six brothers, almost all of the “moons” know each
other very well. I’ve found myself carefully weaving their relationships with
each other, in hopes of further cementing the inevitable bonds between their
respective majors.
Putting it another, and hopefully clearer, way… If the moons of Jupiter
clash and dance constantly with the moons of Saturn, then Jupiter and Saturn “getting
it on” is not only more believable, it is more dynamic.
See?
*wipes nervous sweat from brow
and eyes the exit doors herself*
Well, it made sense in my mind.
Let’s just call this a blog hiccup and move on with our lives, ok?
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
