It is an awesome book I just got yesterday. I’m almost finished because I stayed up late yesterday to read and have read since I’ve been home. I love it, @annethestorynerdgirl!

If you’ve never lived there I think a lot of research is in order. You should research British terms, customs, traditions…Anything you can get. In 1940 the war was about two years in so it wasn’t horrible quite yet, but still bad especially in UK and Germany. I also think weather in London is usually dreary and gray, but…[Read more]

I agree with Daeus, it shouldn’t be a big deal as long as it’s actually understood that they aren’t important, but if you want them to be important it’s probably too late. However you could introduce some sliver of back story somewhere, I think, to make the reader wonder about the character, and potentially write an…[Read more]

What ever you do, think about whether or not that plot twist would interest the reader. In many ways thinking about the reader should come before making sure your plot is fulfilled.

I agree with you, wordsmith. You really want your reader to understand what’s happening.

You don’t want what is called “deus ex machina”, which is sudden/random intervention from someone or something, that has no background in the story, or if it does have background you want the reader to be able to go ‘Ohhh! I see it! That was so cool!’ not “Wait… How did that happen?” I’m not saying…[Read more]

Hey Anne

Is HiFi supposed to be SiFi? I don’t write in that genre or haven’t read any of it in a long time. But I think I may be able to help. 🙂

Luckily with the 1940s not being that far back, you should find a lot of information without it being populated by lies or just guessing more than fact. So I recommend you re…[Read more]

(Yup. 😀 Well, *pauses* you’ll be able to find out soon!)

That would be awesome! That is a good strategy in writing, at least in my opinion.

No problem! 🙂

I introduced a side character at the end of the story once because she was important in getting people somewhere (I’m trying not to spoil my story! 😐 🙂 ). I don’t think it will confuse readers too much, and if you are still considering having…[Read more]

I can’t resist replying to your post, @annethestorynerdgirl . I meant to stay off the forums for a while (deadlines and such) but this is just too  nice.

So you understand what I’m trying to say!! That’s so encouraging!! Yes: PLEASE recommend me to great Christian thriller writers. And your bro’s book. I…[Read more]

I’m thinking if we view them more as elements of the theme than individual people that have their own stories, then maybe it won’t seem like a big deal that they got thrown into the story at the last moment.
