I wrote my first death scene last year. Before I go any further, this book is for YA and up. People know me for my Jasper series, a children’s series. But I do write in YA and Adult as well. The Jasper series was the first one out.

When I wrote this scene, the death one, it just flowed. I am unsure if I read too many mystery and action books or watch too much TV. But it didn’t take me long to write close to 1000 words on this. It did care me when I giggled upon finishing. Either that was due to me writing it, how it seemed effortless, or perhaps it made me nervous about how much fun I had doing it. As someone who has written children’s books, it was an odd experience. But what was fun was when I told other authors about this experience and how they laughed with me at my glee. #Writersgetme

I lost nine characters during the fight. I was making up for lost time, is my thinking. The scene is unfinished. I am unsure where it will show up in this WIP. I’m hoping it progresses the storyline to the reader.

If it is this much fun doing this kind of writing, perhaps I will spend more time on it. While volume four of my series is in the last edits, volume five may have to take a break.
