More Godsent, and characters with personality

Godsent is still moving along well, albeit a little slower than I would like—but I have a day job too :) I have worked hard on the storyline and plot for this book as, like any good mystery, there are a number of twists and whodunit moments. When I first wrote the outline the story focused around Satisfaction, a god of his namesake emotion who was, well…unsatisfied. Apparently being a god wasn’t everything he was told. While the story still is about Satisfaction, much of my writing so far has focused on the God responsible for solving the mystery: the God is called Suspicion

This is my third novel, and one of the things I have found is that characters have a way of taking on their own personality. Suspicion, for example, has a way of acting and analyzing the facts of a situation he could be nothing else but a God detective.

I am close to hitting the 30,000 mark, and am about to throw in the first real twist of the story. Too many books I read seem to fall flat somewhere around the 30-40k mark. I don’t want Godsent to: this is going to keep you guessing until the end.

For now, however, it is time to get back to it.
