This blog is not spoiler free. If you are not up to date approach with care. Not all opinions featured here are shared by me. But a book is as varied as it's readers and all interpretations are valid.


Anonymous asked:
So I'm kind of confused about this kitty krell person... Jim butcher is married? So is this just a joke?

unseelieaccords answered:
Kitty is Jim’s girlfriend. She’s lovely. I met her in Manchester in… April? Going to say April… could be wrong… I wish I’d got more chance to talk to her, but the signing was quite late and I had a long bus ride home saddly.

kittykrell:
Jim got divorced about two and a half years ago. I met him at Dragoncon about a year later, and we started dating last summer.

I pre-ordered both the hardback and the Kindle edition. I don't read the hardback, it's just put on the Jim Butcher shelf.

So. Story time. Not too terribly long ago, Jim and I went to Planet Comic Con, (where he got me this super pretty hat!) and I dressed as Lea. Since I wore some crazy heels, Jim dropped me off to grab passes for us while he parked, to save my feet a bit.

As I was waiting for him, a guy walked by in a MacAnally shirt, so I yelled out a compliment. He kinda looked at me startled and obviously didn’t recognize who I was cosplaying.

Later, Jim and I were wandering the floor, and I we caught a glimpse of the guy a bit off. He was staring, slack jawed.

Not gonna lie, I about died laughing. Wanted to go over and say hi, but we got distracted by shiny things.

Cool Jim Butcher On How To Write A Suspenseful Story Climax

Jim Butcher On How To Write A Suspenseful Story Climax

Someone once said to me: The first few pages of a novel sell that novel, the ending of the novel sells the next novel.

I believe that.

Endings are important. If I like a book but hate the ending I probably won't read another book by the same author.

How does one create an exciting, satisfying, ending?

Yesterday, as I worked on the ending for my WIP, I wondered: Is this any good? Is it interesting? Exciting? How can I tell? What makes an ending good? Bad? Indifferent?

So I did what I usually do at times like those, I went to my digital library (also known as the internet) and re-read Jim Butcher's essay . . .
For the complete article go here
