Discipline

Chain yourself to your storyline. By wrist, by ankle, by neck, by heart. Whatever it takes don’t let the author inside of you stray from the straight and narrow of a well-planned tale.

Admittedly, this bit of advice is a bit of a bummer.

Admittedly, I fail to follow it 98 percent of the time.

But there is a time and place for such discipline. Twisted Intent, the working title for my next novel, is just such a place. So when I rail against the rope burns and the rattle of chains in the next three months, please forgive me. I will try to keep my moans brief.

Until tomorrow…
