Well yesterday I spent a good part of the day writing. I didn’t get very far really. I wrote 1000 words of dialog. I left the scene where I was stuck and began writing a different scene. There was very little narration. Things move forward, but at a snail’s pace for me. I guess I find the conversations boring, but they are pretty typical. I still need to go back and finish the stuck scene. I think I need to find a good book–a well-written book just so I can read good writing.

I need to pay closer attention to what people say in conversations so I can write them with better detail.

I have created my first few characters and I still have a few more to introduce. I have ideas about things they can do to mess things up, but I just haven’t gotten that far yet. I still don’t like them very well. It reminds me of The Sims where you get to play god. I once created a character who was so stupid and annoying that I did kill her off. Slowly let her starve to death. Watched with glee. While I will admit that I created this characters, they have distinct personalities which makes them act in a certain way. Anyway, I think perhaps most of us spend too much time on pointless endeavors. I could have made my characters more intellectual, but who wants to read a book where the characters spit out their philosophy or dump their intellectual crap on whomever is around. I don’t want to read about snobs. I would want to torture them too.

I’m not sure how much time I will have to write over the weekend. I’m still doing hula dancing. I haven’t written about it in awhile. We have a show coming up in two weeks, and our last rehearsal is this Saturday–all afternoon. By the time I recover from the workout, I will have lost most of the day, if not the entire day. Luckily we have a holiday coming up, and I have no plans. Guess I will be writing.

I’m a little behind today. It’s late, and I’m just now getting to my blog. I still haven’t gotten ready for me day. An evening of debauchery will throw anyone’s schedule off.
