I have been re-reading The Lovely Bones. It has been almost ten years since I last read it, and it is amazingly written! I had an epiphany while reading it: I need to put the soul back into my writing. I have been so focused on the plot, the character's dialogue, etc...that I have left out the SOUL. So I am skipping ahead to the thick of the book so I can get into the depth of the plot. Then I will go back and fill in the earlier sections. Here is the end of the latest chapter (which happens in the past...two years earlier than the setting of the book):
Her world went dark. No sound. No light. No feeling. She tried to open her eyes, but they were weighed down by something larger than she was. Instead, her mind found a red cloud. And it rained down blood all around her.
