Pernell Rogers – Writer

Archive for August, 2021

Hello all! I took nearly three years, but I finally finished my first real novel (at least the first draft) on August 12 @ 9:12pm. It was one of the hardest and most pleasurable tasks I’ve ever pursued. It won’t be my last.

I must admit, pulling that last chapter from my head caused me a lot of grief. I had a brief outline of what I wanted to happen, but my characters did not agree and went in their own direction. I truly became a little frightened because the end of the story took a life of its own. It seemed after I finished each paragraph, the story evaporated from my head, and I’d have to step away until it reappeared.

My next project will be a sequel to ‘An Unexpected Evil’. I’ve already started reading it, and I can see how much my writing has matured since I wrote that story. It could have been much more in-depth, but since I haven’t read it for so long, I’m surprised how it keeps my attention. The sequel will focus on the strange doctor that performed the procedure on Billy. Detective Winters, Constance, and Rebecca will make an appearance once again. I still don’t have an outline, but it will be coming as soon as I finished reading the story.

Everyone take care!
