Today's task was a review of Chapter 39...hopefully the final pass. Phil and Sam are definitely at odds...and the killer has struck again. Nothing like a little conflict at 9AM :o) My problem is how to create tension between Sam and his stubborn little brother way back in the beginning. I could just picture my own little sister...who by the way can push every button I have and enjoy doing it. I know because she told me that very thing. But Phil and Sam are twins...and twins are usually on the same track, right? Plus, it was Sam's idea that Phil become "Filli"...and not his fault that "Filli" became the hottest thing in Portland. And even though they work in two different worlds...well maybe that's the rub. Sam's a cop...Phil a performer...and Phil wants to help. After all, the killer is invading his turf, not Sam's. And then there's Phil's secret.
Stay tuned...

Is it possible to write them as fraternal twins? Much conflict there.
ReplyDeleteThey are in fact fraternal...so yes. In fact, at one point Phil wonders just how they could be twins at all. And there is some conflict...it just doesn't show up as soon as my first readers would like. Phil's secret (and his past) are points of contention throughout the book. I just need to reweave a couple of scenes...maybe. Thanks for the comment!
