Another Road Trip, Another Brainstorming Session

We just got home from a great concert, and regular readers of this blog know what that means: we used the time in the car to talk about our work-in-progress. This time out we were deepening the world-building.

Without giving too much away, it’s pretty dark. A lot dark, really. Let’s just say we delved into the practices of the cult in our story (one of the cults…) and when we got home and Kent was typing up the notes, he had some qualms about using his work email for the task. He hit send a while ago, and so far appears to still be employed!

We also wrote the central myth that the cultists’ worship is based on. There’s more to it than just “yikes! that is demented and gross!” It is demented, and a little gross. That’s just not the whole recipe.

A writing partner is someone who offers scintillating — and sometimes moderately disturbing — converstion to help make the miles disappear.
