Day 36 - Success!

Now I realise why one must become familiar with your characters BEFORE writing. Man, I am finding out so much just by them writing letters. The little things, the language they use and habits they have. It's funny because I talk about my characters as people when they are in my mind but I know for a fact that that does not mean that aren't real.

I was thinking today about what it would be like to be a columnist. Would it be fun? Would it be beneficial? Would I ever consider a job as one? and the only answer I could get was the last one which was yes, that was what I was doing. Interesting what life throws at you. Like story ideas, you got to grab them, take hold of them and try and make them turn into something.

Day 34 - A new style

And here was go again. Something new. Motivation comes in little spouts these days (when I have the time, which is almost never) and when it comes the sad thing is I don't know what to write or what is happening and I realise that my characters don't have any body. Like a cup of coffee that has no body, my characters are bitter and gross. Who would want them? My solution: Letters. My characters are now going to write letters to one another about their life and whats happening. So both me and them know what the future is going to be made of and what their life looks like. With 34 days gone I really need to get a move on.
