Mar. 25th, 2008 03:28 pmThank you to everyone that commented about their hometown yesterday. I was blown away by the amount of comments, and especially enjoyed that so many people love where they live. There were some beautiful pictures posted, and interesting links to explore and really gorgeous descriptions. So if you have time, think about having a look.
We've been out doing various things today, one of which was going to see my dad. While there his finance gave me a bagful of Mills and Boons books. Why she ever got the idea I read them I don't know, but I keep them for when I have nothing to read and then read all about girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Misunderstanding occurs.Woe! Angst! Woe! Dramatic scene. Boy professes love. Boy and girl live happily ever after.
I also ended up writing on the backs of some pieces of paper when I was waiting in the car for James. Plotting out scenes and dialogue for the story that I'm working on now. It wants to be told so badly, and now I have this pile of paper with cryptic shorthand crammed on the back. While doing that I realised one of the key scenes I wanted to tell was from the POV from someone that wouldn't have any more POV scenes. Which seems like a bad thing to do. Right now the story is shared between Gerard and Ray's POVs, but originally I planned Mikey and Frank to meet on their own. So I sat and people watched, and thought, and I think I have a solution. POV, man. It's a tricky thing.
So I'm going to feed the kidlet, get some jobs done, and then write, for I have words fizzling at my finger tips.
In other news. New Apprentice tonight! Or not. It's only Tuesday...sigh.
