And, yes, I did fulfill Laura's destiny in this novel. However, I left one significant character hanging. Looks like, in the future, I will have to create another novel to sort out her situation. Oh dear...
I have had tons of fun creating my characters and developing another dimension. Now, if only I could do this full-time! How lucky other famous authors are to sit there and fantasize while paying the bills. Hopefully when retirement comes around, I'll get to fully indulge in this pleasurable activity. That is the dream... (Actually the dream is to become one of those famous authors whose work has been translated into film and becomes a box office smash, so that I can leave my paying job - SIGH)
Well, back to work. I have to start reading Destiny Fulfilled over again as if I were reading it for the very first time. I have to see if I have chopped it up so much that the flow has disappeared from the story.
