Argh!
For the past three days, I’ve had the protagonists
of my novel
sitting in a country pub, waiting for their dinners. I’m stuck—& this time
my [blah-blah]
device doesn’t seem to be working.
Raymond Chandler advised writers who lose the plot to
have a guy burst through the door waving a gun. Old NaNoWriMo hands tell us to
parachute ninjas into the story & have our characters deal with them.
I’d just settle for a shepherd’s pie & a nice
plate of fish & chips. & another round of ale.
That pub's gonna go out of business if the service doesn't improve....
ReplyDeleteA. A fight breaks out. Manchester United vs. Arsenal or maybe the other 'United' that actually won recently.
ReplyDeleteB. A loud crash outside. Auto accident.
C. Gun shots outside. Shotguns are common and legal.
