Maybe I’m a little sadistic. I do tease the crap out of those whom I love dearly. It’s a curse, really. Harm isn’t the goal; being playful is. What the heck does that have to do with writing? This novel I’m getting through has some very interesting chapters in it. Wait a sec. That sounded unbelievably egotistical. What I meant was they are the best chapters that a human can ever read.

That’s better.

Some of these chapters are written from different point of views and even in different tenses. It’s something I like to do to keep it both fresh and a little interesting. It allows the reader to get deeper into the story and see and hear things that you may not see from the first person point of view. What I’ve done through out the second act is a bunch of these interview type chapters. I blogged this earlier that these chapters are written as though someone transcribed them from audio tapes (did I just say TAPES?).

The fun part about these transcriptions is that in certain parts, the audio is a little garbled and hard to hear. It just so happens that this occurs when there is some very important information that could explain parts of the story later on. It’s purely coincidental, I assure you (tongue in cheek). Sadistic? Not really. Teasing the audience? Absolutely.

AND by doing this, the story has taken a very fun twist. No spoiler alert here because you’ll have to wait to read it (or watch it) to see what I’m talking about.

PS – The novel is up to 300 pages!!! Still have the third act to go!
