Sometimes I just have a "gut instinct" about what should happen before I start, and that helps me extract my theme for the story as I write toward the ending.Karenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770486767357201455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-40667478963412286422017-06-13T08:29:59.477-04:002017-06-13T08:29:59.477-04:00I'm glad you found MK's post when you need...I'm glad you found MK's post when you needed it :)Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-90166592796960336472017-06-10T13:22:36.407-04:002017-06-10T13:22:36.407-04:00Thanks for fixing two months of writers block. lol...Thanks for fixing two months of writers block. lol.

Thank you!
"The Dark ...Excellent post, M.K.! Thank you! <br /><br />"The Dark Knight" was another bittersweet ending: they defeat the villain and Gotham's citizens chose the moral choice over the evil one...but their hero is fallen and Batman must assume the hero's guilt to protect his legacy.<br /><br />It worked partly because one of the movie's themes is beliefs. Batman believes in the greater good. The Joker believes in chaos. Gotham believed in Dent--and that belief gave them hope. The other core theme of the Batman series is that Wayne protects his city and his people...and their hope.<br /><br />Also, your book description hooked me completely with "the shame of marriage." The HECK is he talking about?!Rachel6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138745237488029817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-64949889268464072692014-05-06T20:09:51.685-04:002014-05-06T20:09:51.685-04:00This is a great post!
