“That’s all I have to say.” (1979)
Before I begin writing a novel, I need to know how it ends. Perhaps this method grew out of the creative frustrations I felt during my earliest years as a fiction writer. When I was in first grade I would often start a short story without any idea as to how I would finish it. When the plot reached a dead end, I would conclude the story thusly:
I started the (retro)blog in 2005 as a way of blogging without really blogging about myself (because I don’t enjoy blogging about myself). For four years, I posted many, many, many pages from diaries, creative writing assignments and other miscellaneous scribblings from my youth. Alas, there’s only so much material worth recycling. Instead of digging deeper into my trove of juvenilia, I’ve decided to bring the (retro)blog–in all its forms–to an end so I can totally focus on writing BUMPED.
Please stay connected by signing up for my mailing list or friending me on Facebook.
Thanks for reading the (retro)blog…
That’s all I have to say.
