Killing off a character who isn’t earning his keep

 

     I E-mailed two of my friends a few days ago to tell them I was killing off a character.  I told them he wasn’t working.  He was a cardboard cut out and had no life.  He didn’t contribute enough to the story to justify keeping him.  Killing him off gave my main character, Linnie many more options than before.  However, by doing this I…OMG…have to do many little changes.  In the end, I believe it will work and the book will be better by far. 

     High ho high ho it’s off to work I go…

  1. Way to go, off those men who don’t work and can’t justify their lives! As one who’s been there – thank goodness for Postits.
