Characters, plot and description
It's Monday. Full day of work and escalations but tomorrow brings a fresh early morning. Up by 6am, fresh coffee, some sit-ups, re-read a chapter that brings me up to the current stopping point in the book, then let fly with. . . .
Yes, the moment of truth. What happens next? Tortuous lingering in front of blank white space while the characters mill around, not doing anything, not cooperating? Or do they take off in a rush and it's hard to type fast enough to keep up? And perhaps more importantly, when they take off in a rush, are they all going to the right places at the right times!? And in a witty, intelligent manner. So much to keep track of. And if I don't do this because the process is entertaining of itself, why do it? Let's leave that for another post. Still don't have the hang of this blogging thing. How does one draw the line between self-absorption like a diary or twitter feed and detached lecturing? Hmmmm.
