I am really stumped over this one. Not as bad as with the
names of the characters but almost. And I had this difficulty with the last
novel and needed a little help from my friends. Maybe I’ll ask you’s all advice
again on that!
The characters… still waffling. Nick Jones could also become
Chad Jones. Not sure. I think I need to explore his personality more as I write
to solidify it in my head. …Elliott? I think I’m going with Ralph. (I have an
uncle Ralph.) He is going to go by RC (initials) and I will explain why in the
story. I have been pondering today the synopsis of the story. I think once I
have that, a title MAY surface. Who knows?
I’ve been writing. Not a lot today but I did scribble down 5
pages of “outline” to help me keep plot details in order. This book is NOT the
one I wanted to keep on writing but it is the one that the characters are
talking to me. When Darian starts talking again, I’ll write that one. Until
then I will go with the river that creativity flows in!
This tale deals with “beauty” and it being skin deep or not.
It deals with hate and intolerance, but most of my stuff does! It contains more
of myself in it. I always use things I know from my past (or present) to
enhance the “realness” of the characters. It deals with self esteem and self
confidence.
Will it have a happy ending? I will not know until I write
it.
I have 2289 written. Doesn’t seem like much but it IS when
the story keeps writing itself in my head and I only lack the time to type!!
More words on their way!
On other news… I’m fine. I always have my ups and downs but
life for me is normally the same. My problem is my emotional investment in
things. I tend to care too much and sometimes it comes back to hurt me in the
end. Although today… I’m okay.
My college friend ‘K’ is doing okay. Not great, but okay.
We’ve raised about $2000.00 for him and that has taken care of some college
debt (which now will keep him out of collections) and given him a security
deposit to put down on an apartment. FINDING the apartment is still in the
works, but he is doing his best. And the school is working on helping him more
too. I find that WHEN ASKED people are more open to help than I originally
thought. I’m trying to give my hatred of people in general another
consideration since I am slowly running into some sparse NICE people. Who knew
you were out there? Either way, he is still in need.
Still supporting my
friend. Help if you can. http://www.gofundme.com/helpgaystudent
What else? I
have another friend who lost a family member. THEN she lost another like a week
or two after that. Losing loved ones, even when they are older and somewhat
expected to go before you, still hurts when you love them. My thoughts are with
her and her grief. ** I’m sorry, dear lady that I can do no more than pray for
you and hope that your sadness passes soon**
This is going to be a busy week. I haven’t had much sleep.
(Which doesn’t help the writing factor.) But even if I am not at my computer,
lately I am consumed with thinking about Nick and RC -- Scenes, scenarios, plot
twists (lol, do mine twist?) and dialogue. I got some stuff brewing! Oddly, I
have not written ONE sex scene! Wow. I do know when they first kiss. I also
know when they touch first.
Just writing this blog makes me want to STOPPP and get to
writing something. Come on creative synapses, get your juice going!!
Over and out.
