(I couldn't post Day Six here yesterday because of all the whatever that was happening with LJ, but you can read it here if you so wish!)

February 25^th 2008

Ricia's about eight chapters away from the end of Wild and her verdict so far is good writing, predictable plot. I'm now frantically trying to think up things I can throw in to add more twists and turns. So far I've come up with:

Werebats

Lizzie's long-lost father turning up and being a werewolf

Vaughn dying

Cannibals

Necrophilia

A freakshow of some sort featuring werecreatures (actually that might be book three...)

I'm not sure how well any of these things will fit in at the moment... I might hold off until Ricia's finished.

I'm pretty sure I didn't seriously considering putting any of these things into Wild, with the possible exception of the freakshow. As much as I enjoy surprise cannibalism in books, I probably couldn't justify adding it to a book that already included drug abuse, domestic violence, murder, werewolves, and ghouls. Although ghouls do lend themselves nicely to cannibalism, so I don't rule it out of appearing in the rest of the trilogy...

Tomorrow: Nome does some maths.
