I have reached a bit of a conundrum regarding my WIP.
Initially, I intended it to be a novella in which a motley group of individuals escape from the tyranny of an alien race who invaded the Earth.
I’m not a planner.
I try to be but everything goes it’s own way one the fingers start typing.
I mean, Danielle was only supposed to be a supporting character but she’s pushed herself forward to the point of being the lead protagonist.
It’s not a problem to me but I’m now wondering how to finish this.
It’s over 43,000 words now and will most likely reach the 50,000 word mark – the novella length I was working to.
The motley groups have joined forces and are within an hour of arriving in Scotland and safety.
Do I –
a) finish once they are safe?
b) have them joining the resistance and continue the fight?
c) find a solution to the world-wide problem?
d) use b and/or c to start a new book?
This is not necessarily a rhetorical question.
Many thanks to the Renegade Writer’s group for helping me with this. Their advice is worth its weight in gold.
