I wonder how published authors feel when they read a copy of their newly printed book-- or even when they're doing other things --and it hits them; there's a major plot hole in the story. What do they do? Do they bring it up, even though it's probably too late, or do they stay mum about it? What if a reader points it out?
It doesn't have to necessarily be a plot hole; it could be something that they realized wouldn't work or could work. For instance, I found two incidences of possible "plot holes" in my growing manuscript. Don't want to say what they are, but one was more of something that I realized probably wouldn't make sense and the other I could use to help foreshadowing. That probably didn't make much sense? XD
Anyways, I've finally got my hands on The Hunger Games, as well as its sequel Catching Fire. I haven't gotten far in the first book, yet but what I'm reading is really good. I've already got a soft spot for Peeta, the baker's son, as well as Rue who I already know is going to die in Katniss-- the protagonist --arms. I'll probably cry. But I've read that they're going to make it into a movie. I don't mind who plays Katniss, but I'm a bit put off with the suggestions for Rue; she has dark brown skin and hair, so a minority actress could play her (black, Hispanic, Indian, etc.). But people seem to forget that. It's like it's going to be another The Last Airbender. Anyways, great book. It's kind of my treat for getting me to write more.
And I'm watching the premiere of America's Next Top Model. They upped the stakes; this time around, they switched from a spread in Seventeen Magazine to one in Italian Vogue. I'm no fashionista, so I don't know how big of an improvement (if any) it is. In any case, how many people audition for the show? Every cycle, there's always "returns" to the show; people who auditioned and/or made it and now return for that season. Whatever, I'm rooting for the weird one, as I always do.
