Most of the time... I sit and have this internal dialogue that is long and drawn out and... Tend to get me nowhere.
Today however, I had this dialogue with Beth... she is amazing! Today her idea about how to help me love my characters was soooo insightful, and perfect. By the time we had finished our cup of coffee and car ride, I had a million things just racing through my head.
She gave me quite a few ideas!
The two I am going to work on are:
1) Write a short story that ends where the novel begins… not necessarily using the characters that are in the book… but tie the book to the short story… *This is something that I am thinking I will do in blog form*
2) Write and essay about all the characters. Get into their heads more. Maybe it will help me love my characters the way I should.
These two things are things I feel I can do. And since I have yet to tell you the name of the book, characters, or even really what the novel will be about, this could become very, very fun for me.
I am not sure how I am going to start these two things, but I have a feeling they will be epic! Eventually, this feeling of doubt I have about my skills will fade…
It’s going to be very interesting… and I am hoping that you all will help me out there in the blogging world…
