From here, on the outside, we're all wandering around in a daze

Hey Sol...

You need the ability to move threads so you can transplant contentious debates rather than having to end them.

Sure fire way to have to fill out post-mortem paperwork in the afterlife

William, thank you.

It sounds like you're trying to squeeze the story into a certain demographic rather than just tell the tale. There may be some merit in doing just that, but when you say it that way, I wonder a little.

Not so! I've guaranteed that Firestarter will survive to the end. And by survive, I mean be "animate" but not necessarily having a pulse or sanity. Plenty of people wake up with neither of these until their morning coffee, so it still counts as alive

get this onto the page before the sharpness of the experience dulls

"Dire" is always fun

example:
Dire Angel
Dire Rapture

That's a longer topic... I'll try to offer something on it later tonight

I recommend migrating away from a title containing "Satan". You might best use a temp title. I have stories I haven't chosen a title for in like 3 decades (403's title for example, for the past 4 years was "Lizzie" and before that it was 10y as "Ultimate Soldier" until I realized she was anything but.).

There is no shame in waiting until after you've written the novel to give it a title. Even then, the publisher may scrap your title, so don't marry it.

A trunk of cash fits in well with his character. You have this guy with a large amount of worthless valuables. And he's trying to extend it in ways that only work in a cash-based society. Clearly, someone with that kind of thinking pattern will always carry a trunk full of money.

Ginger not so easy. Why bring so much clothing on a 3-hr trip? Maybe the trip was part of a longer stay-over and she had nowhere else to store her luggage? I don't recall Maryanne dressing with much variety, but I haven't seen it since it was on the air, and back then they were probably still making Scooby Doo's, so what would I know.

Now, how exactly you get batteries to recharge using little more than coconut water and aloe leaves, that seems more absurd than a trunk of money. Or magic.

Requiem was better - this one sounds like the title of a gospel book from the eyes of a Harlem school teacher

I put eye, because I bet blood is taken
