Gosh, time flies by so fast. I don’t even have time to
write every day. What I remember is I wrote a post for this blog last weekend
and now I write a new post at weekend again.
I’m currently working on a writing project and last night
I just created an idea for the ending. Well, it is weird because whenever I
have a new idea to write a story or a novel, the first thing that is coming to
my mind is how the story will be ended though the story is not even written yet.

Most critics said that deus ex machina could be used by any writer who is currently block;
writer who cannot create a plot to solve the current problem experienced by the
characters in the story. Well, it is not really true because deus ex machina could be used as a
dramatic way to surprise reader as well. One interesting example I quoted from
Wikipedia is The War of the Worlds; well
surely you know the movie but I’m not sure that you have read the novel, I haven’t
read the novel as well and I just found out that the movie is actually adapted
from the novel some minutes ago. The story about earth is invaded by aliens that even the most modern weapons that human
ever made cannot kill the invaders; that is why the invaders are defined to be unconquerable.
However, in the end some kinds of terrestrial microorganism could solve the
problem succinctly; because there are no bacteria in the planet where the
invaders came from so they don’t have any immunity. The terrestrial microorganism here is taking
role as the 'God' just like
the role of the King in Tartuffe.
Well, I’m going to try using this plot device to end the
story that I haven’t written yet, currently the idea is only hovering in my
head and disturbing my sleep. I even cannot focus on my work; it is a good
thing for a writer, isn’t it? But totally not for my boss and my social life. So, I've got to finish this project as soon as possible.
