THE END. Two simple words of pure deceit for every writer. It was a triumphant day. I finished the first draft for "The Gallery" but I won't fool myself this time. I know better. The true work begins now.

How far into a book do you read before expecting something significant to happen? I'm reading one right now, and it's not bad, but I'm 45% through it, and nothing has occurred to move the story along. It's just more discussion about what has already happened.

Just finished Holly by @StephenKing . Big fan of his but I didn't fall in love with this one. Felt a bit forced and formulaic at times. But Holly Gibney is a gem of a character and deserved her own stand alone story damnit!

@stevehillwriter Maybe avoid using the work OK at all. A little slang makes a character feel real but you can probably find other ways to express that other than that word. It has like a bazillion synonyms.
