With Chapter 35 of If It Weren't For the Two of Us, Trent has now come out to just about everybody. The experience with his father was one that could go either way.
So, was his father's reaction what you expected? How would you have reacted? In our world, experiences are all over the place. Many readers have probably had to feel the same things. The progression with his parents still has a ways to go. I don't think you will predict what happens next.
To regular readers, you might have noticed one passage seemed familiar. The phone call between Trent and Lance was first read in Hi, I'm Lance. As the two books align, they won't necessarily fit perfectly, but the dates in Trent's journal and the ones noted on Lance's meetings will show you how the two stories are parallel. You might find it interesting to see the same story through different eyes.
With Extracurricular finished, in a way, Mike has stepped into the background (maybe just a little bit). Perhaps I should write some original content for him. Thoughts?
You, my friend, are like a spider. Weaving webs all over the place. Intriguing! Can’t wait for the next chapters to start blossoming...and Trent’s dad, FYI, is an ass. But you know that, because you created him.
ReplyDeleteTimothy,
ReplyDeleteAre you thinking a second book for Mike? I have always loved him as a character. Not sure how you would fit it in, but I'm already seeing connections between the book. Interesting.
