King's one of my fave authors and I think he's had a lot of sucky endings. Still good books, though.Brooklyn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285434689426722832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162552408162747159.post-76359578696099400662011-08-26T16:52:40.643-07:002011-08-26T16:52:40.643-07:00If using the "deus ex machina" to finish...If using the "deus ex machina" to finish a story is a "sin" for the writters, then one of my favourite authors (Carlos Ruiz Zafón) is a huge sinner. <br /><br />In one of his books, for example, the evil character (who is no more than a 'mysteryous figure' during the story) turns out to be a vindictive demon that had become inmortal when he burnt himself in a train accidente. Well, in the context of the story it makes more sense, but still, it is too far fetched. <br /><br />Anyway, I love his stories and I´m a strong believer that the ending is one of the less important parts of a book. I mean, if I kept you hooked during 600 pages, would you hate me for not giving you a perfect ending? <br /><br />One of the most clear examples of this WTF moment is the ending of LOST. Still, it is the best f*** serie that I´ve ever seen! <br />Still, his stories are awesome. <br /><br />I try not to follow their example, anyway, but I prefer to tie some loose ends in a doubtful way than having no ends at all to tie...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162552408162747159.post-57634780510429145352011-08-26T15:29:05.973-07:002011-08-26T15:29:05.973-07:00LOL, I should try that sometime! I type in "B...LOL, I should try that sometime! I type in "Bow-chica-wow-wow" When I know the characters are gonna do it but don't feel like writing the scene yet. It's a fun placeholder. <br />Heh. The male c-word or the lady c-word? I don't mind either if the situation warrants... unfortunately many don't.Brooklyn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285434689426722832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162552408162747159.post-1859333636812512412011-08-26T15:25:12.544-07:002011-08-26T15:25:12.544-07:00The "did that just really happen?" WTF. ...The "did that just really happen?" WTF. It usually happens when the story or characters aren't consistent and something totally random flies into a scene. It pisses me off when I'm reading. I am currently reading a romance series with GREAT ideas and, what could be great characters, but they are so inconsistent and the story randomly wraps up around a climactic scene that wasn't so climactic. Well, there's that and the author uses two bodily euphemisms that make me want to punch a wall. I'm sorry, but there is nothing romantic or sexy about the "c" word.<br /><br />As far as writing, I am guilty of the proverbial "man behind the door". If I get stuck the crazy guy with the knife jumps out going "HA-HA" until I pull my head out and write something more creative. Usually works because I start laughing at myself and delete it almost immediately! :DMichel Lee Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072449127419140970noreply@blogger.com
