So my sister and I had a long conversation about my writing. She made a good point: I have been so lost in the story I want that I forgot about what my characters want. So I put everything aside and started over....
I wrote a short story. (4 pages.) It is one event in the story. It went well and the character changed some things midway through. Today I wrote a paper from the character as if he was in the 6th grade. Actually 2 papers like that. The character is taking on his own life. It's pretty amazing.
The story is changing because the character now has some personality that I didn't see before, not to mention something that is a bit of a game changer. So we will see where this goes.
Notes:
Started playing Words With Friends. Addictive.
Uhm...
Yeah, I guess that's it... So note.
