									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve taking an interesting in writing again. In this project I&#8217;m working on, the story has grown a mind of its own.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s all fine and dandy with me. But the theme has suddenly turned to suicide.</p>
<p>And I&#8217;m not ready for that.</p>
<p>So should I A: Continue writing and hope that the theme will change by itself or B: Change it now and avoid it altogether?</p>

<p>I’m coming up to the middle of my book (finally!) and now I’m worried I won’t be able to write a good middle. I know how this book will end, but I’m not sure how to make enough excuses to avoid the end or make it flow.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Thomas.</p>
