Written: Part Two
The author now for first allows some artistic juices to pour out of her fingertips.
Read Part One.
But put yourself in the composer’s shoes? Would you let your seven year creation go free? Seven years of your life put on hold? This character was your breakthrough, the one that put your name on everybody’s lips. She wouldn’t have even been produced if it weren’t for your coffee fuelled all nighters; she should be grateful to you.
The astonished power hungry writer is determined to gain control over Kate. Scott the husband is hastily scribbled into the scene to calm the hysterical Kate, who is now fully aware that her entire being is nothing. Nothing but a bunch of words and paragraphs scribbled onto a jotting pad or typed on a screen. She is now more than ready to take the ultimate plunge and bend bars of the cage that are constructed around her.
One swift lunge and push is all it takes to guide Scott over the banister, a deafening thud accompanied by a symphony of snapping vertebrates, a river of crimson oozing from his open hairline fracture and shattered skull and then she’s running. But where can she run? Where can she hide? Where is she safe? Her world is nothing, nothing but a bubble blown by the writer. Everywhere she is watched, seen, hunted.
Hatred, anger and revenge pulse through the writer’s veins as with a sick epiphany she realises she is Kate’s God and Kate will pay for her sins.
The author now allows some artistic juices to pour out of her fingertips. Horrendous natural disasters and terrifying events that wouldn’t even feature in the most twisted horror film are geared at Kate to wipe clean this new rebellious streak and rectify the bizarre path the novel has taken. This includes the resurrection of her beloved Scott, now equipped with filled in black pupils, razor sharp claw like hands, animal, beast like instincts, garnished with yearning for her blood on his lips. During the final showdown, Scott can easily overpower Kate with his now devil induced abilities.
Kate now longs for the blissful ignorance she once had. She surrenders, no longer craving the liberation she once did.
When the position of power is once again restored to the author’s, a certain awakening dawns upon her. Seven years… seven years and the most thrilling ordeal she could contemplate to spice up Kate’s life was a three day affair that Scott had led, which she forgave him for. Yet, in the two week battle she was victorious in, she had conjured up a series of events that would have editors scanning through the book as fast as their thumbs could fumble over pages. Yes, it wasn’t her original idea, not an idea at all really; it was a reaction, an unforced, natural human reaction. The secret ingredient to really lock in and connect with an audience, a reader, bring them into your world.
So, Instead of hitting the erase button and picking up on the dead end chapter where she left off she types “The End”; publishing a number one best seller and damning Kate to her own personal hell for all eternity…
