Ask me anything, part 2
Y'all are slacking. Only one new question for the ask me anything poll.
From Mer: So... what's the new ending for The Host?
Wow. There's something I haven't thought about in a long time. The Host, for the uninitated, is my first novel. Mer is one of the handful of people who've read the first draft. Or actually, that might be Draft 1.5. (If you want a detailed look at the first draft writing process, including excerpts, go here.) The basic premise behind the novel is, "What if faerie abductions from folklore and UFO abductions from modern day urban legend were conducted by the same entities?" The original ending left a lot to be desired. I stopped rewriting last summer, because I was a little burnt out on the whole thing. I may need to revisit it. So, Mer, to answer your question, I dunno. But now you've got me started thinking about it again, which I'm sure was all part of your nefarious plan!
