A plonser, if there is such a thing!!<br /><br />I'll explain. I'm currently writing a story set in the Ypres trenches, based on my Great Granddad's diary. My mystery comes in relation to the main character and a girl he meets. I've left clues for the reader (so far my Mum is the closest to getting it!) as to how she relates to a mysterious lday who appears at certain times in the story. <br /><br />I have plotted what and where the clues in the narrative will be, but as I write I often tweak, change, or come up with new, off the cuff ideas which I guess makes me a bit of a pantser!!<br /><br />Anyway, you decide - some excerpts from the story so far (Tin Soldiers) are on my blog: http://pinpoint77.blogspot.co.uk<br /><br />Thanks for a thought provoking post :-)Neil Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094796039326430540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985500887917221259.post-6451238243376869452012-07-24T09:34:05.751-07:002012-07-24T09:34:05.751-07:00When the victim of a corporate scam finds himself ...When the victim of a corporate scam finds himself deep in hostile Africa, his discovery of a rare-earth mineral sparks a chase for evil riches; greed and lust must be overcome to keep an arcane tribal secret from revelation.<br /><br />The catalyst is a corporate fraud.
